What they need to do is to review the Patriot Act from top to bottom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``
If you had developed knowledge of the details you would know that this was already done. I read there were about 30 revisions put together in House Senate conference.
My congressman, J. Sensenbrenner who is chairman of the House Judiciary committee was vocally against the original Patriot Act because it endangered civil liberties. After the revisions, he was a supporter.
The Senate and the House had jointly hammered out these revsisions. The house passed it and the "there is no terrorism" Kennedy-Schumer-Boxer-Durbin crowd threatened the COMPROMISE legislation. You must have missed Sen Reid gleefully crowing that the Patriot Act had been killed. Remember most of this is about providing the same law enforcement tools to anti-terrorism efforts that are available to anti-drug efforts.
Keep reading here you will learn a great deal more than you will from Judge Napolitano.
Here's another reference for you

Roving wiretaps. Thanks to the Patriot Act, terrorism investigations can use roving wiretaps. Instead of having to get new judicial authorization for each phone number tapped, investigators can tap any phone their target uses. This is important when fighting terrorists whose MO includes frequently switching hotel rooms and cell phones. It's a commonsense measure. It's also nothing new: Congress authorized roving wiretaps in ordinary criminal cases back in 1986. It's hard to see Patriot as a blow to civil liberties on this score.
Hope this helps.
Yeah, thanks. I didn't know it had been reviewed and revised. I did hear about Sen. Reid's disgraceful behavior.
