It’s a damned shame that lefties like Franken are the ones to want to take this monstrosity apart. But at least SOMEONE’S on board with it, small consolation that it is. USA-PATRIOT’s GOTTA GO. (In case you law and order at any price types have a fit about it, oh, well. It NEVER SHOULD HAVE PASSED in the FIRST place.) Law officers have all the power and authority they need to track terrorists without this abomination. The only thing it does is let them NOT use warrants or inform you, the victim of their searches, that they were there. BOTH of these are clearly unconstitutional and ANY TRUE conservative should have been screaming from the rooftops the FIRST time around. Oh... we were. The REST of you were all too willing to fasten the shackles onto your ankles. Trouble was and is, you’re too willing to give up MY freedoms along with YOURS. THAT, friends, is totally unacceptable.
I wonder what motivates them, I doubt it has anything to do with expanding an individual's freedom from government intrusion.
