When people in power are saying "The Patriot Act actually strengthened constitutional protections," It doesn't take chicken little to see red flags popping up.P. J. O'Rourke once said that when politicians phrase things in ways that sound like something no one could logically object to, that's when they should be watched the closest. He was referring to environmentalism, but it applies to the nisnamed and misbegotten "Patriot Acts" as well.
