Protecting this country from foreign and domestic threats is among the mandated responsibilities of government. I will not chastize them for doing the job we Constitutionally mandated that they do.
If they overstep or twist the law to political ends, they’ll hear from me. Until then — I supported the bill under the Bush Administration, and I support it now.

“Protecting this country from foreign and domestic threats is among the mandated responsibilities of government. I will not chastize them for doing the job we Constitutionally mandated that they do.”
Define “domestic threats”? According to the DOJ, we are “domestic threats”. Patriot Act has been used in some high-profile cases that had nothing to do with terrorism and will continue to be.
You trust in your government far too much.
I would remind you to look at the Constitution again. The job of Gov’t is to support and defend the Constitution. Nothing about keeping you safe, that is your job.
No one is safe in a police state with no freedom. The Patriot Act will be used by the police state. Joy.
