These people did the right thing. Supporting the totalitarianism of the Patriot Act is shameful. I am glad that they stood up to the rest of the "republicans" and told them where to stick it.
It ain't over yet, my FRiend....the Patriot Act worshippers are gonna come back again & again & again until they get their way....it may be given a different name, & it may eventually pass under a Dim-ocrat President rather than a Repug, but still, the fight for an all-powerful & a more centralized government will continue.
