And to think that some brave "patriots" here are just fine with that.

They'll change their minds just as soon as someone they don't like is in office and not one moment sooner.

The entire design of American government escapes them. The idea isn't give government unlimited powers and hope the 'right' people get elected. The idea is to limit powers to begin with because eventually someone bad *is* going to abuse their powers.

The first thing anyone should do, before supporting a law, is consider if they want their political adversaries enforcing it.
