Today President Barack Obama signed the one-year extension of the Patriot Act, which would have expired tomorrow.
"Three sections of the Patriot Act that stay in force will:
--Authorize court-approved roving wiretaps that permit surveillance on multiple phones.
--Allow court-approved seizure of records and property in anti-terrorism operations.
--Permit surveillance against a so-called lone wolf, a non-U.S. citizen engaged in terrorism who may not be part of a recognized terrorist group.
Obama's signature comes after the House voted 315 to 97 Thursday to extend the measure."
I wonder which 97 Representatives voted against anti-terrorism for America? Which Representatives are anti-American? We should look that up...its all online.
"The Senate also approved the measure, with privacy protections cast aside when Senate Democrats lacked the necessary 60-vote supermajority to pass them. Thrown away were restrictions and greater scrutiny on the government's authority to spy on Americans and seize their records."
Does that mean that the Senate Republicans are anti-American now too, as well as filibuster happy? The Republicans are on a roll...they are now obstructing almost ALL government actions in this country.
But, I guess that also means that our Google searches are safe!
