The 4th Ammendment has been pissed on by the Feds and the States for years, at least this time its for a good reason.

Theres no time to see a liberal judge and get denied a search warrant right before a nuke goes off in a major American city (and it aint gonna be in friggin Idaho).

Approriate modifications are prudent and necessary,those opposing them irresponsible at best and in league with the enemy at worse.

More Republicans voted against this stupid bill than for it,the rats were near unanimous in favor.

That ought to tell you something right there, but I doubt it willl sink in.

Methinks you misread; what the Patriot Act did was not cut out the judge, but cut out the notification given at the start of a search.

Strawman. If the cops believe a felony is in progress, then they'll go in without a warrant. They can do that now.

By repealing this section, though, they won't be able to do it willy nilly and confiscate whatever they like without the invaded having the right to get it back if they were wrong.
