Patriot Act Extension

[mattymatt79]

What do you guys here feel about the extension of the Patriot Act that passed the house and is soon to be up for vote in the senate?

I have my own opinon but I wanted to hear what you guys thought.

Me? I think it's an unconstitutional act and it violates our 4th Ammendment rights. There are a few who are fighting hard against it, but it seems like status quo to vote for it.

What pisses me off the most is there are some politicians who ran in the previous election cycle on a platform of shrinking government, yet it seems that only one person is actually living up to that platform.

Same here, brudda. 'He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither' - Ben Franklin.

...though I'd like to see some statistics on how many bad guys we've caught by using it vs. how many people have publically had their privacy violated.
