Re Abuses of the Patriot Act
The Ashcroft Justice department, who worked for the President brought that grab bag of offensive, WINNER-TAKE-ALL, TILTED STACK OF Legal Loose Ends, bound it together with some barbed wire and then slapped a "made in Madison Avenue" title on it calling it the Patriot Act, so no one would be confused, and gave it to a compliant "REPUBLICAN" (lest we forget) Congress on the heels of 9/11.
The evidently, slow to read Congress, certainly isn't off the hook, for passing that collection of DRACONIAN retro-legislation. That empowered the security industrial complex to do... "WHAT EVER!"
But while the congress that didn't read it, does carry plenty of responsibility for the law they enacted without reading. Keep in mind, it was the Bush Administration's shrewd legal adviser, John "Soaring eagle" Ashcroft the AG who took it to Congress.
You remember John Ashcroft - he's the guy, who when he ran for the Senate, lost to a corpse, which the good voters of Missouri preferred, to the LIVE Ashcroft.
