This is an interesting mix of people; I'm going to file this until the next vote on gun control comes up in Congress and stick it right in Feingold's and Sander's faces. I know how Ron Paul votes on 2A issues.

Take it to the Supreme Court. That's what the judiciary is there for.

FReep Halibut Award-- Dishonorable Mention

[so_real]

It seems whenever I see the Patriot Act appear on FR, the overwhelming response to contradicting it is "negative". I am confused... I've read a considerable portion of the Patriot Act -- it's a long bugger -- and the potential I see for abuse in it is staggering. I would have thought the conservative nature of the average FReeper would make for a pretty one-sided argument against the Patriot Act in this forum. It appears I am mistaken. Could someone please explain this to me? Why does the average FReeper support the Patriot Act?

Also included in this unconstitutional disaster is a section that calls for all businesses to report to the fed.gov any transaction over $10,000 where the customer paid cash. This reporting requirement was formerly limited to financial institutions (also unconstitutional).

Amazing.

Not only is this irrelevant to the "WOT" (the 9/11 folks used credit cards), it serves to further 'criminalize' an individuals right to use cash.

"Patriot" Act my ass.

For those that haven’t seen them:

H.R.3162 PATRIOT ACT{ YOUR NEW- POLICESTATE- LOOK FOR YOUR SELF}
