Show me one actual case of abuse of Patriot Act powers. Just one. Cite one single case filed by the ACLU against the Justice Department for Patriot Act invasion of civil rights. Just one!

When the definition of "abuse" is deemed to mean something *illegal*, then governments never commit *any* abuse :)

Marianne,

You make a good point. I personally think it is BEYOND LUDICROUS that the Attorney General, or anyone else for that matter, would spend any time at all going after stuff like strip clubs or gambling, or other "vice" areas like that.

However, as the saying goes, "you don't throw out the baby with the bath water..."
