the Patriot Act, which still requires a Court to approve a warrant, even if said warrant is only produced **after** the search.
Allowing authorities to act as if they have a warrant before they actually have a warrant seems like a pretty big change from current procedure.
Isn't a court supposed to approve a warrant first?

That hasn't changed. Only when it is displayed in some rare instances.

Depends on whether you support a 'living' Constitution or the original document...
