Protestors Storm Capital

[Irreligious Atheist]

All the names of the people opposing the new Patriot Act in there. Respect to them for standing up for people's rights, but sadly it will pass. This new Patriot Act was not in response to people breaking into the capitol either. That is just the excuse they are using to get this passed. This was already written and ready to go, just like the original Patriot Act.

While I agree 100% that both parties, in their authoriatian nature, would be willing to pass a "Patriot Act 2.0," there certainly isn't one already written and ready to go. That letter by Tlaib is a cautionary measure.

We'll see how quickly the bill shows up, which will surely be hundreds of pages. The Patriot Act was introduced a week after 9/11. Hundreds of pages and Joe Biden took credit for creating it https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/and...llance-joe 

That's how these things often go. The government is thinking several steps ahead when it comes to taking away people's civil liberties. They do it in stages with different bills so people are more accepting of it.
