  • About the Patriot Act senate meeting...

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

Rep. Sensenbrenner Gets Angry, Abruptly Ends Hearing

Honestly, I think Sensenbrenner is an asshole, but he does have a point. It seems like the Democrats were using the floor to rant about unrelated issues.

Oh, and Sensenbrenner, librarians wouldn't be allowed to give Senators a list of cases where they have been forced to give up records to the police BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING BANNED TO TALK ABOUT IT IN THE PATRIOT ACT!!! Fucking asshole!

Didn't like the tone? Why? What were these "unrelated issues"? This isn't an O'Reilly-like your-not-doing-what-I-want-so-I-will-act-like-a-child-and-stop-the-conversation-before-you-prove-me-wrong
thing, is it?

Hey Sine, I don't want to read the article and depress the hell out of myself today, but do you know anything about the proposed Patriot II Act (the one that's been planned for awhile that will expand the original, with no sunset provisions)?

If that ever gets to the point where it actually passes in anything like its proposed form, I actually will most likely expatriate.

Just move up here. Imagine America, but nicer and cleaner :-)

Not a bad idea at that.
