Anyone who votes against the JUSTICE Act is, in effect, voting in favor of the USA TRAITOR Act (or, in reality, US, A TRAITOR Act).

Makes you wonder why Republicans are basically doing everything to Obama short of giving him a Jasper County, Texas, truck ride, doesn’t it? Especially since he’s stood behind a great deal of Bush, Cheney, and the GOP’s treasonous acts.

Maybe that explains it – Obama is a better Republican than most in the GOP are, and they’re scared silly…

…except, given the fact Obama and Bush are so close in reality, it’s Feingold and Barr who should watch out for an unexpected to them (but not, unfortunately, to me) Zyklon-H (for Halliburton) shower – paid for by the taxpayers at a 60,000 percent markup

George, I’m pretty sure Feingold would abolish it if he could. But with Obama coming out in support of retaining some provisions, Feingold probably recognizes that in the real world of politics that won’t happen.

Feingold was the only senator to vote against the Patriot Act when it first came up if I remember right.

I would tend to answer my own question with a no. I just thought to ask because these clever acronymics always give me a creepy dystopian feeling.

Could it be that a small step in the right direction would be w0rst than none?

I think a libertarian would cheer any movement of public policy in a direction that increases liberty. The difference between a libertarian and others in this case would be that a libertarian would keep working on the issue.

The only modification that a libertarian will cheer for the Patriot act is immediate and complete repeal.
