While I do not believe 9/11 was a inside job. But I do feel that out of fear of another 9/11 type attack we may have made a exterme call. I do believe that a good part of the PATRIOT Act gives the government powers out side what is Constitutional.

What do you guys think?

Parts of it are fine, other parts are not. I don't think you can paint it with a broad brush. It has not been misused in practice nearly as extensively as many people feared when it was first passed.

Patriot Act doesn't bother me in the slightest.

People opposed to it usually do so for abstract reasons that don't mean much to me.

It is unconstitutional, but politicians are too retarded to spy on all of us, or most of us, or even a good chunk of us. So I'm not directly worried.

And Matt, don't say "If you're not a terrorist you have nothing to worry about" because the Patriot act isn't just for terrorists, it's also for "other purposes." I don't think those other purposes will be sending people off to fictional FEMA camps, but that kind of language is disturbing. I sleep fine at night, but at the same time we don't need it.

The Patriot Act has many dangerous ideas in it, but I believe these can be contained through the court system and watchdog groups.
