The patriot act doesn't bother me they can bust you just as easily on RICO etc so whatever abuses are in the Patriot act are redundant.

What an extremely odd way to convince yourself that it is OK.

Better have a good read-through of that Patriot Act.

We shouldn't be excusing the passage of such a horror simply because "we're already abused by RICO".

You need to read the Patriot Act. Does RICO let the government sneak into your house, not tell you and then use secret evidence against you in court?

Does RICO define terrorist as someone that may "Appear to be intended-- to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion".... "provided that such investigation of a United States person is not conducted solely upon the basis of activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution´"
