bad things
House and Senate negotiators worked through the night on a new draft of the Patriot Act and have agreed to make most of the provisions permanent, with HUGE changes on wiretapping, on reviewing business records under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and new standards for monitoring 'Lone Wolf' suspects, or those suspects already in the US that are operating independently of a terror organization.
Democrats want to:
* Curb the FBI's subpoena power. As it stands now, records of any citizen can be reviewed as long as it is certified that the investigation is related to a terrorist plot.
* Limit the ability of DOJ to review business records and make it more difficult to conduct roving wiretaps. Law enforcement would also be required to submit proof that a suspect has ties to a terrorist organization or foreign power.
* Force the Justice Department to be more transparent in its secret requests for information of suspects as it relates to what is called 'ordinary people.'
* Make it mandatory that the DOJ give an annual report to Congress regarding anti-terrorism measures. That would include providing the names of 'ordinary citizens' under investigation during the previous 12 month period. Keep in mind that this is Classified information that Congress wants to make public. Classified information!
This is dangerous, irresponsible and reckless. As it currently stands, DOJ is able to act swiftly to gain information. Anything that hinders or impedes that ability is a very bad thing for national security.
The desire of the Democrats to dismantle the Patriot Act is yet another in a long line of examples of just how anti-American the Left has become. Mark my words: if and when the US is attacked again, the Democrats will be the first to accuse the Bush Administration of neglecting to do enough to protect America and Americans, when in fact, it will have been those on the Left that will bear complete and total responsibility for death and destruction in the Homeland.
And look! There's actually more absurdity from the Left, additional things they want to insert into the Patriot Act in the form of 'add on' bills. They want to lower the sentence for sex felons who fail to meet registration requirements. They want to loosen courthouse security. And they oppose any measure that would limit federal appeals of state court decisions.
Democrats are nothing more than homegrown terrorists attempting to take America down.
