The PATRIOT Act needs to be cleaned up. The current bill, as amended, has all kinds of crap in it that has nothing whatsoever to do with protecting us from terrorists.
Also, they are trying to make some of it permanent, which is foolish and shortsighted. Do we want Democrats to have that kind of power to abuse someday?

Which precisely why it's been used for drug crimes, gambling, prostitution, etc.
