Republicans want to expand Patriot Act to strip courts of power
 

The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee is working on a bill that would renew the Patriot Act and expand government powers in the name of fighting terrorism, letting the FBI subpoena records without permission from a judge or grand jury.

Can't wait to hear from the GFY right wingers who used to say that Republicans were for smaller government. :1orglaugh

cool, a whole article about a bill nobody has seen, and based on the information provided by one or more apparent cowards... and you jump all over it..

good to see you're still as predictable as ever.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I never liked the Judge and Jury System anyways...
Its corrupt.
Power of the people not Power of attorney huh?
All these fucked up rules decided by judges and shit...

Fuck them.

I hope for best result on this no more 9/11 please!

The details of the bill come directly from the staff of the Republican who wrote it and they are confirmed by someone from the Justice Department.

What better source do you want before you start making excuses for it? :1orglaugh

Yeah I much rather have republicans and jesus freaks deciding my fate.

Anti-Bush, Anti-republican doesn't mean you are a democrat. Ok so I hate the Packers ergo I am a Bears fan? Um no. Once you stop drinking the kool-aid of the 2 major political parties you'd realize that.

Someone with a name.

STFU and go save a whale, which shouldnt be hard to do since you already are dating one.

It was a simple funny picture you freedom fighter you.

Ok whatever. Actually I'm a INDEPENDANT( because I can think for myself ) I have been a registered republican at on point in my life. So I think I can speak about them. Your stupid whale comment is suppose to lable me as some Liberal. Hmmm I'm against most affimitive action, I for states rights on many many issues, I'm for parental notification when it comes to teen abortion and I'm for the total abolition of Social Security but I'm a "liberal". Hmmmmmmmm OK.

No GatorB actually I am labelling you now....

Um look in the mirror buddy. Never met someone that doesn't even realize what they post themselves. Hmmmmmm start drama then accuse others of drama. what a concept. I have to try that sometime.

It's called the "FALSE LEFT/ RIGHT PARADIGM"

There is no difference between republicans and democrats.

Remember, the democrats had no problem voting for patriot act 1 & 2. The treasonous democrats fought harder to get faggots married

Both parties are corrupt from top to bottom

You think that because Democrats want to give gays equal rights and Repbulicans want to take away your right to free speech, that proves that both parties are equally evil? :1orglaugh

How does gays getting married hurt you? Don't you want all people to have the same rights? Or should certain groups of people (pornographers for example) have less rights than other groups?

NO man - you totally misunderstood me

My point is that the patriot act is going to effect EVERY american in a negative way and the democrats do not oppose it in any meaningful manner. But they spend gobs of airtime talking about gay marriage which only effects a miniscule portion of the population. Think about it, gays may be 5% of the population and out of that only a handful even care about getting married

The point is, the democrats aren't here for us on this issue at all. They put up smokescreens to pretend that they represent us. It's freakin sad. Nobody is standing up to Bush. Makes me think both parties are the same

Personally, I don't give a care if two homos wanna get married (none of my business)
