Scrap the whole damn thing.

Ashcroft, too. He's just Reno in drag.

IT's nice to see that people are challenging this anti constitutional law. I cant beleive our law makers passed a law that walks right over the fourth ammendment.

Civil Liberties Groups Challenge USA Patriot Act

Good. It's time for the unconstitutional portions of this tyrannical law to be stricken down.

The very fact that they called such rubbish a "Patriot act" gives you some indication of it's Orwellian overtones.

Slavery is Freedom..?

Sorry... not buying it.

Good. This patriot act should be read by lawmakers... they haven't read it yet. There was political hell to pay if they did. And to most of them, thier political power has more value than American values or our Constitution.

Much will be struck down. Good.

Maybe I need to fire a check off to these guys.

GOOD! Time to put the unpatriotic act in the trash.

I get that an emergency or war is a flakey time. The balance between liberty and security is fluid owing to the apparant need for more security. On the one hand I want potential terrorists from bombing me and my family (or anybody else or else's) and on the other, I want to keep government forces caged. How far should those forces be let out?

This is a time when statist elements can shift potential power to the legislative and executive areas they control. Once legislation is codified, amendments can aim it in any direction.

This legislation has a carrot, rounding up Islamics, made fat and jucy by the prevailing mood. The circumstances made it passable without scrutiny and executable immediately. Just that is odious. Much as I would like to mop up Islamic terrorists, I getting the feeling I'm getting a Ugo with a carbomb for a Cadillac price.

I just hope the effect of the populance arming itself was a total surprise. But I'm afraid that any mention of that passive threat can be discredited using the spirit of that very legislation.

Too many lines intersecting at one point for may taste.

The real deal breaker for me on the Patriot Act is that the administration continues to refuse to seal off our borders and insist that our immigration laws are ENFORCED. This coupled with the “no change” stance in allowing immigrants from nations that sponsor terrorism to come in here, like they did before 9/11, on their BS visas is TOO MUCH to take. Bush & Co. have got it all wrong. We should be deporting the illegals, sealing our borders and blocking entry to those coming from terrorist nations before WE GIVE UP OUR FREEDOMS. Bush disappoints me more every day.

Un-Patriot Act is tyranical trash & they are watching us.
