What segment of our population DESPERATELY wants the patriot act repealed,

People who care about protecting liberty and the constitution. The Patriot Act is unconstitutional, unAmerican, and helped to strip us of even more of our civil liberties.

It boggles my mind how some conservatives can support the Patriot Act, when if the exact same thing would've been put out by Clinton, they'd probably be shouting from the rooftops about how unconstitutional it is.

True, very true.

Much of the P/A was drafted during the Clinton Administration after the Oklahoma City bombing. His fading popularity in Congress kept it from being presented. Besides, he had other important issues (women) on his mind.

Methinks support for the Patriot Act as well as the soon-to-be-law S1959 will not be as strong among Republicans under a Hillary Clinton presidency...
