The name of the bill probably had more to do with its acceptance than the actual content. It was a reactionary, if not opportunistic power grab that should have never been supported at the offset.
Exactly. Reactionary legislation almost always results in unintended consequences. Although this time I question whether they really were truly unintended.The name of the bill probably had more to do with its acceptance than the actual content.

I tend to agree with this, but then again most Americans seem receptive to "tough on crime" and apply that to terrorism, as well.I think most American agree the Patriot Act is an unnecessary infringement on citizens rights.

With the end of the Iraq war and the Afghanistan War winding down do you believe that the Patriot Act which allows wire tapping and other unconventional methods to try to catch terrorists should still be allowed, or should it be completely abolished as it directly violates the 4th ammendment and other rights. Do you believe that we should give that freedom up for security or do you believe that if we do we deserve neither as Ben Franklin once said.
But do you actually believe the act has done much good here at home and what would you expand in it Tigger? Don't you think our military operations over seas seem to have done a much better job in catching and preventing terrorism where this act has really done nothing but strip us of freedom?
