95% of conservatives support the Patriot Act. It is liberals and liberaltarians who don’t. OF course if you like the Kucinich/Paul view of the constitution, have at it.
I strongly believe Congress must act now to rein in the Patriot Act, limit its use to national security concerns and prevent it from developing "mission creep" into areas outside of national security. Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House ("The Policies of War: Refocus the mission," San Francisco Chronicle, 11/11/03)
Funny. I thought he was a RINO.
Source? Proof? Or is it more pissant butt-smoke?
And my preferred view of the Constitution is this:
Amendment the Fourth:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Yea, that pesky Constitution thingy.
