    The Patriot Act

    I am watching a replay of yesterdays Senate hearings on the Patriot Act. The head of the CIA...the Attorney General...and the head of the FBI are being questioned.

    The Patriot Act was passed by Congress with built in sunset clauses. The sun will set on these clauses this year if the Congress does not re-approve them.

    If you are American and you have a problem with any part of the Patriot Act now is the time to contact your Senator/Congressman and let them know about any concerns you may have.

    You can tune into C-Span II and following the replay if you care too?

          What does my post have to do with my approval of...or disapproval of...the Patriot Act...or any parts of it?

          If one is an American...now is the time to let your Senators/Congressman know of any concerns you may have with the Patriot Act. Many Americans "bitch" but not so many actually lodge formal complaints with their Senators/Congressman.

            Patriot Act is such a violation of the constitution.

              Not until the Federal Supreme Court rules against it either in totality or in part...as the Supreme Court Justices are the arbitrators of what laws...Municipal...County...State...or Federal...are constitutional...or not.

                  I think you will find that a lot less people actually understand the patriot act than scream out against it.

                  I think you will find a shortage of "victims" over the course of its life than some would have you believe.

                        I think you are correct on both points. The Patriot Act changed the way that the different agencies can share information (this is the most important part of the Act). What the majority of the nay sayers complain about are parts of the Patriot Act that they claim violates their freedom. What most of them do not know is that...these parts were actually in law and used prior to the enactment of the Patriot Act...but within the Patriot Act they have been clarified and strengthened.

                            FYI...I do not like Mr Bush holding the office of the Presidency. I am not a fan...and I did not vote for him either time.

                              from what i've read in past.. they pass and make changes no matter what the AMerican people say/think.

                              could be wrong.. hopefully I am. Else.. really tragedy for people down south to wake up one day and see liberties and stuff changed without them knowing

                                Wrong. They pay attention to their constituents. The problem is...their constituants do not pay attention to what is being done in their name. In other words...people like to "bitch" but do not take the time to pay attention to what is being done in their name and letting their Senators/Congressman know their opinions/concerns.

                                Government by the people only works when the people pay attention and become active participants.

                                    WASHINGTON (AP) - The number of secret court-authorized wiretaps across the country surged by 19 percent last year, according to court records which also showed that not a single application was denied.

FYI...the government...Municipal...County...State...and Federal have been up every Americans "butthole" in the 200 plus years of the nations existence. Every law curtails yours or someone elses freedom...so no this society has never been a "FREE" society. BTW...there are over 10,000,000 laws on the books nationally. The Patriot Act only affects those that are suspected of violating law.

                                                                      Basically there are not any new laws in the Patriot Act...it consists of what were current laws prior to 9/11...but these laws have been brought together...clarified and strengthend.

                                                                              I love this crap. If these laws already existed then there was no need for the Patriot Act. Duh! I'm sure it's already illegal to runa red light in your town. now what would you think of your local ogvernment if they passed a new law making it illegal to run a red light? You'd think "Hey morons that law is already on the books" and then what would you think if they came back and said "Yeah, but it's clarified and strengthened and it's called something else so it a totaly new thing"

                                                                                      The FBI had the authority to investigate what a "suspect" was perusing at a Library prior to 9/11 and indeed excerised that authority on multiple occasions...as the Director stated in his testimony before the Senate hearing. He further stated...when asked by a Senator...how many times had the FBI asked for the library records of any "suspects" since the enactment of the Patriot Act...that they had never asked for library records using the Patriot Act as an authority to do so...but that in fact on at least two different occasions...their agency had been contacted by Libraries suggesting that they may want to look into the activities of certain individuals.

                                                                                      The Patriot Act brought together existing laws...clarified them for the agencies involved...so that any ambiguity in the laws that existed among the agencies/agents prior to 9/11...would be removed...thus strengthening the laws.

                                                                                      Where did I state that "these laws only apply to the guilty"? These laws apply to individuals that have displayed suspicious behavior "suspects" who may or may not in fact be "guilty" of any crime or involved in any "terrorist" activity. Only in a court of law can "guilt" be determined and the enforcing agencies of law/the Patriot Act are not the Courts.
