Pin the tail of the Patriot Act

Pin the tail of the Patriot Act a game for blind people

“ "The big thing that we have to do is make sure that anything we're voting for we know darn sure what we're voting for," Rep. Bobby Schilling told The Daily Caller about his "nay" vote on Patriot Act reauthorization. "The way I understood parts of it," he added, "there's some things I have problems with in the Patriot Act." Speaker John Boehner, on the other hand, has no problems with anything. Perhaps this is why he saw fit to debate reauthorization of the Patriot Act for a grand total of 45 minutes before holding a vote? That's right: Less than an hour to debate Fourth Amendment-violating wiretaps and what Cato's Julian Sanchez calls the "sweeping collection authority" contained in Section 215 that allows foreign intelligence surveillance courts to "compel the production of business records or any other 'tangible thing'"--such as medical records--without justification or appeal. ” Because statists have convinced America that challenging the authority of our monarchic executive branch is akin to rooting for al Qaeda in the Olympics.  I'm no statist, but in one of my more stunning lapses of good judgment, I initially backed Bush's initiatives (although hating the name Homeland Security).  Prolly because I had not yet understood the scope of them, but also in knee-jerk defense of President Bush, who was being knee-jerk attacked by people I despise.  I have since become a hard-core adherent of the "Constitution means what it says" crowd.  Unlike  Boehner, and what seems like a majority of Republicans (and 100% of Democrats). The Bobby Schillings are my new heroes.
