From 2004 to 2007, the business records provision was used 220 times, usually in combination with requests for phone records. The lone wolf provision was created to conduct surveillance on suspects with no known link to foreign governments or terrorist groups. It has never been used. The roving wiretaps provision is aimed at allowing investigators to monitor calls by suspects who change their cell phones, without investigators having to go back to court for a new court authorization. That provision has been used an average of 22 times a year, officials said.
Obama supporting more police powers????!!!! Im shocked! In related news the Sky is Blue
Wasn't Bush called a fascist and nazi over the Patriot Act? I smell hypocracy from the left again.
The Obama administration supports extending three key provisions of the Patriot Act that are due to expire at the end of the year, the U.S. Justice Department told Congress in a letter made public Tuesday.
obama said he was against renewing any part of the patriot act? i didn't realize that.http://www.foxnews.com/politics/200...ending-provision-patriot-act/?test=latestnews

Lawmakers and civil rights groups had been pressing the Democratic administration to say whether it wants to preserve the post-Sept. 11 law's authority to access business records, as well as monitor so-called "lone wolf" terrorists and conduct roving wiretaps.
The provision on business records was long criticized by rights groups as giving the government access to citizens' library records, and a coalition of liberal and conservative groups complained that the Patriot Act gives the government too much authority to snoop into Americans' private lives.
Well I'm sure the folks on the Left will try to spin this some sortt of way but the fact is that as a Candit for President Mr. Obama was against renewing any part of the Patriot Act, hmm I wounder what changed his mind, Maybe when certain jackass's in his Cabinet say that their is a growing Right Wing Extremeist or that Militia are on a rise which neither has yet to be proven. Typical BS from Mr. Obama say's one thing whiler running for the Office opf the Presdient and after change's his mind. So how is the Hope and Change going folks on the Left.
wow......you're giving the guy 8 months to end 2 wars? how generous.hahah, yeah. I said it before the election took place. No real difference between Obama and Bush and he's support the same crap I cried foul about Bush doing. So let's keep the big intrusive government ball rolling I guess. Wars done? Gitmo closed? Patriot Act extinguished? I still say anyone who bought into the hope and change rhetoric was a fool.
Man, one day maybe we can get some real hope and change into office.

Nope, I think it's crap. I know you righties think we liberals find him flawless, but it was never the case. This I do not like, but I did not expect to like everything he did.

Wasn't it Cheney that told people to F off?
No, he told one guy in paticular, "**** you". If I remember right, it was one of the Democrats that called Bush a Nazi, or murderer, or something.

On Tuesday, Cheney, serving in his role as president of the Senate, appeared in the chamber for a photo session. A chance meeting with Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (Vt.), the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, became an argument about Cheney's ties to Halliburton Co., an international energy services corporation, and President Bush's judicial nominees. The exchange ended when Cheney offered some crass advice.
"**** yourself," said the man who is a heartbeat from the presidency.
