Author Of Patriot Act Now Seeks To Limit Government Surveillance

7. Well well well

All the snakes come out of their holes. The intransigents who keep renewing the Patriot Act, have been outed. Which, IMHO, was the point of this whole exercise by the administration, ala the Lincoln quote -

“The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.”

I.e., Congress needs to spend its time repealing the entire Patriot Act instead of fruitlessly trying to repeal ACA. The DU exhortations to "not enforce it" is bullshit because the law would still remain on the books. The courts, most of which were packed by Raygun and Shrub, refuse to throw it out. So the only way to get rid of it is to demonstrate just how bad it really is or can be when "enforced strictly" - and let the outrage of the people push their representatives to get rid of it, once and for all.
