And here I thought most Democrats hated Patriot Act.
Turns out they only hated George W. Bush. Shocking!
WASHINGTON (AP) — Over fervent but scattered objections, the Senate voted by a wide margin Thursday to extend the government’s Patriot Act powers to search records and conduct roving wiretaps in pursuit of terrorists, acting just a month after intelligence and military forces hunted down Osama bin Laden.
Facing a midnight deadline when three terror-fighting tools would expire, the 72-23 Senate vote came after three days of stubborn resistance from a single senator, Republican freshman Rand Paul of Kentucky, who saw the terrorist-hunting powers as an abuse of privacy rights. With the Senate vote, the bill was whisked to the House for an evening vote and transmission to President Barack Obama for his signature.
Dems have no problem undermining the safety of the country to score political points/get back into power.
IF they use that bill for good AMERICAN WHICH HAVE THEIR ROOTS IN AMERICA,
that is an intent to be demolish by the CONSERVATIVES AS SOON AS IT POINT OUT.
