Yesterday at 3 PM, the House voted on "providing for consideration of H.R. 514, to extend expiring provisions of the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 and Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004." In other words, the House just voted to allow another vote on the act that will require a majority vote.

Come on we already had a vote on it and it was a No just because they want to ram through an act that is in direct violation of 4,5 and 6 amendments to the constitution to keep this expanded government where the Feds can violate peoples right to due process and a speedy trial and public trial. This is insane well I guess you can't expect much from the Republicans kinda like the Democrats its okay though the more they mess up the more they give Obama in 2012 well in my case I might have to write my canidate in but this is insane that anyone who loves this country or claims to love this country would support this joke of an Act. I mean really the Patriot Act hasn't made us safer and in fact just proves that we don't deserve our rights. It is a sad day in the United States the longer this "Act" stays on the books.

I'm glad Republicans insisted on being given time to read the bill and more time to discuss it before letting it get rammed through.
