Because it appears in Cohen’s report, therefore the Republicans are absolved of overwhelmingly voting for it (only 10 GOP reps and Senators voted against it…there was much more Democratic resistance to it)?

I remember the one time I ever managed to call into a radio show with my qualms about the Patriot Act, the conservative host assured me that this was war, and not to be alarmed…when the war was over, these powers given by the Patriot Act would go away.

It’s amazing the things which are perfectly fine…until those things are turned against people and groups one supports.
