Patriot Act Needs a Sane Discussion



WASHINGTON — House and Senate negotiators have struck a tentative deal on the expiring Patriot Act that would curb the FBI's investigative power and require the Justice Department to more fully report its secret requests for information about ordinary people.
Democrats and civil libertarians said that while the tentative deal makes some improvements, it doesn't address their chief concern: the curbing of FBI power to gather certain information by requiring the investigators to prove the subject's records are connected to a foreign agent or government.
"It gives a nod toward checks and balances without fixing the most fundamental flaws in the Patriot Act," said Lisa Graves of the American Civil Liberties Union.

I am not pleased with today’s decision! What were the democrats thinking?!!! Oh never mind they can’t think!!!

Now the Democrats can filibuster!

Ok Billy Bobs time to warm up that re-loader!
