Patriot Act Vote Likely Today
The Senate is expected to vote today on the Patriot Act renewal legislation . It's a bad bill, and besides Sen. Russ Feingold, no one else is standing up to say so. We don't need:
- a national federal police force. Here is the text to Section 605 which would create one.
- the anti-Meth Act
- New drug crimes and death penalty eligible offenses
- Sneak and Peek searches that are more about the drug war than the terror war. Sen. Feingold's statement on this is here.
