Someone needs to tell Ron Paul they did not use the patriot act to catch Spitzer.

I'm sure Paul is very much aware of that. He is claiming that the wiretap used to bring down Spitzer is in violation of Spitzer's Fourth Amendment rights (questionable, IMO - was it pursuant to a warrant?), and that government power over Americans is dangerously growing with relatively recent acts of Congress, including those mentioned.

BTW, I don't necessarily agree with Paul on the specifics of each part of each of the acts he cited, but his general concern about overreaching government power over American citizens is much appreciated.

Indeed. I’d argue that 70% of the federal gov’t needs to go away altogether.

Oh please.

If you’re law-abiding you have nothing to worry about.

If you’re a criminal money-laundering whore-buyer like Elliot Mess, you SHOULD have plenty to worry about.
