Patriot Act Run Amok

I am okay with the Patriot Act. Most of the complaints about it are nonsense.

But this detail hasn’t gotten enough media attention. Through a little-noticed provision, a National Motor Vehicle License Search has been set up.

Is this a good idea?

    but the war in iraq and afghanistan are dending democracy abroad while patriot act is abandoning it at home this lowers the bar for freedom

    the usa is home of the free so if freedom is lost dimished it allows all other contrys to lower standerds to or below are own this is a global promblem first other western contrys like britin

    in the end I dont want the us constitution or any foreign constitution to read somthing like this

    all living human beens are people unless parliament rules other wise

    all poeple have the freedom of speech unless other wise dictated by law all speech is protected unless other wise dictated by law

    now this style of constitutional law would provide no protion are rights but the patriot act is worded no different some spots and if up held by the courts we could very well have a interpretation of the us constitution just like the sample I gave above

    After 9/11, Bush made two statements: “Terrorists hate America because America is a land of freedom and opportunity.” and “We intend to attack the root causes of terrorism.” ..Sounds like everything is going according to plan.
