No Unreasonable Search And Seizure? Keep Flapping Your Gums, Commie
Only member of world's most overrated deliberative body with any credibility on the issue is preparing for a sustained fight against the Patriot Act:
"This is worth the fight," Senator Russell D. Feingold, a Wisconsin Democrat who serves on the Judiciary Committee, said in an interview.Odds that a GOP legislator blurts out that Feingold's speech gives aid and comfort to the enemy before a staffer informs him that the senator is reading from the US Constitution: 7:1
"I've cleared my schedule right up to Thanksgiving," Mr. Feingold said, adding that he was making plans to read aloud from the Bill of Rights as part of a filibuster if necessary. [emphasis mine]
(Thoughts, Tom? Are Patriot-sanctioned searches of library records non-frivolous infringements on privacy? A dozen other rights-violating provisions of the Patriot Act?)

I personally feel there should be no fight against the Patriot Act. It has helped our country. It's not an infringment on our privacy, because if we have nothing to hide, then who cares? I can see, however, why the Democrats aren't fond of it...it was a good idea brought forth by the Republicans.

"If we have nothing to hide, then who cares?" So you're okay with the FBI monitoring your phone calls, financial transactions, and library activities, forcing your bank to turn over your credit history while making it illegal for them to inform you of having done so?
You are, furthermore, okay with all of this even when the FBI faces no requirement of having to show probable cause to obtain sanction to do so in the first place?
Who cares why the Democrats don't like it---are you really happy to let the government curtail your own liberty?
