As I stated the Congress can, and has in the past, over turned legislation, but most usually they modify legislation and the Supreme Court is still the ultimate arbiter of what is legal and what is not legal for the government to do. If there are abuses, and there probably will be, these abuses will be dealt with.

Exactly its the abuse I am concerned about. There is a due process people are treated innocent until proven guilty. Another thing regurading this patriot bill being that the nature it is reguarding privacy, is that it should be restricted to units dealing strictly with terrorist activity. I don't think a redneck police department should be able to enforce activity via the patriot act.
