Inappropriate name for an uncontitutional law!
by heystoopid July 21, 2005 10:50 PM PDT: A true stroke of genius, calling this abuse of authority and withdrawal of democratic and legal rights act 'the patriot act' for even Joe Stalin or Lenin could not have thought of it. Ah, only craven cowards permit the continuance of unconstitutional laws, whilst simultaneously allowing those who expose own countries spies to remain unpunished. Truly amazing!; Reply to this comment View reply

by captnet July 22, 2005 9:13 AM PDT: Suuure we Americans 'trust' the powers to be to exercise restraint and only use these powers where absolutely needed for anti-terrorist efforts. Any moron knows it's absolutly human nature to only do good with absolute power. Righhhht! (pronounced heavy on the 'h')

In fact while we are all 'trusting' the powers, why not just re-write the entire Constitution to your liking. After all we 'trust' you. Righhhht!; Reply to this comment
