Because the patriot act is not needed to defeat TERRORISTS.
NOTHING IS STOPPING TERRORISTS FROM ATTACKING US AGAIN.
It is all semantics meant to PREEMPT the Constitution of the United States and insert whatever laws they feel like.
Oh, and it is no great secret that I am not exactly a fan of Clinton.
Although I am a democrat because of him.
Just because some laws needed to be made does not mean it should all be rolled into something that was introduced hastily and goes too far on its face.
Goes too far? All the Patriot Act did was to expand laws already in place for RICO violations and extended them to terrorism investigations. To say they've gone to far just demonstrates gross ignorance of the laws that were already on the books.
So you can argue the merits of the laws themselves, but to say that the Patriot Act "went too far" is just stupid.

On the floor today...
I don’t want to hear again from the Attorney General or anyone on this floor that this government has shown it can be trusted to use the power we give it with restraint and care. This shocking revelation ought to send a chill down the spine of every Senator and every American.
Sooooo....
Spying on ANY American at ANY time WITHOUT A WARRANT IF ANY KIND is just .... what...??
An extension of EXISTING laws...???
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT..???
Duhhh
The dept of Homeland Security can now suspend ANY AND ALL LAWS along our southern border
ANY LAW
Civil, enviormental, criminal, immegration, military...
Up too and including murder will be at their discretion...
Gee that really does not sound like it is EXTENDING any laws... does it..???
It almost seems more like ummm...
A total dismantling.
Of the Constitution that is.
And BY THE WAY...
Why on earth would georgie worry about what I check out from a LIBRARY ...???
SHOULDN'T HE BE TRYING TO FIND BIN LADENS LUXURY BAT CAVE???
Oh... I forgot, it is 'hard work'.
Oh,, andthe guy who authorized spying on AMERICANS without ANY warrant.. He has some OTHER interesting accomplishments....
Fucking hitler would be proud....
Who provided the legal justification to spy (perhaps illegally) on Americans without judicial oversight? None other than former Justice Department official John Yoo. It’s not the first time Yoo has advised the administration to push moral, legal and ethical boundaries:
Yoo Argued Interrogation Wasn’t Torture Unless It Resulted In Organ Failure or Death: Yoo also wrote an infamous torture memo which argued that interrogation techniques only constitute torture if they are “equivalent in intensity to…organ failure, impairment of bodily function, or even death.” The Bush administration was forced to repudiate that memo once it became public. Yoo continues to defend it, saying the new torture definition “makes it harder to figure out how the torture statute applies to specific interrogation methods.”
Yoo Argued President Bush Didn’t Need To Ask Congress Before Invading Iraq: Yoo has also argued that “President Bush didn’t need to ask Congress for permission to invade Iraq.” The 1973 War Powers Resolution, according to Yoo, is “irrelevant.” Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice echoed the argument when she told a congressional committee that “the president has the right to attack Syria, without congressional approval, if he deems that a necessary move in the war on terror.”
Yoo Argued Geneva Conventions Do Not Apply to Detainees: Thanks to Yoo’s legal work, the Bush administration justified the creation of a new category of detainees: “illegal enemy combatants.” “Yoo and other Administration lawyers began advising President Bush (after 9/11) that he did not have to comply with the Geneva Conventions in handling detainees in the war on terror,” the New Yorker reported earlier this year.
Although Yoo is now a law professor, his views remain influential in the Bush administration. Maybe it’s time to stop taking his advice.
