There is not a sunset clause on Patriot I or Patriot II. This is going to be a permant grant of powers to the future administrations.

Yes, that's the danger in this legislation. Can you imagine what a President Hillary might be able to do if that Stalinist was elected by the ever-growing contingent of riff raff in this country? The country and all its (remaining) freedoms would cease to exist.

The things that make me sick is that Congress always puts 'sunset clauses' on every bill that is a benefit to the population but refuses to ever consider doing the same to any that give powers to the government over us.

To anyone who has ever read the draft of Patriot II, the first conclusion is that it is a rape of the uninformed sheep.
