Let me ask you...what part of the Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution authorizes the USA PATRIOT Act?...I mean I know the federal government itself hasn't paid much attention to the Constitutional limits on its power since the New Deal...and I know its become fashionable on here to speak like modern-day New Dealers and complain about politicians who are "always whining about the Constitution"...but demanding that the federal government strictly adhere to the Constitution is still a conservative principle...right?
The truth - NO!
