Patriot Act II

[WinkOsmosis]

I'm shocked. For some reason there is no thread on Patriot Act II...

Here are some links.

I think pretty much everyone hates both Patriot Acts conservative, liberal, or libertarian. Checks and balances have been disregarded since the founding of our ?great? country. Max Weber and others are continuing to be vindicated everyday. The day that Congress quits freely giving power to the "Executive Branch" (or rather the fascist bureaucratic state) is the day that hell freezes over. I predict that after Heir Wolfowitz is impeached, his successor on the left (naturally) will introduce a new policy of "glasnost." PARTIOT III will give back everything PATRIOT I and II took away.
