Patriot Act.

It's leaped way outside it.

Really? How, specifically? Can you name specific instances where
enforcements under the Patriot Act have illegally infringed on
protected rights?

You're that ignorant?

I find it interesting the the New York City Council (that's the city where
most of the people in 9/11 actually perished) want the Patrio Act revoked.
They obviously aren't as informed as Scott Weiser, but they seem to feel
rather strongly that it infringes on fundamental rights and liberties.

I find the most recent version of their resolution quite well written.

A search on

Patriot Act infringe on rights

or some such combination will give you a plethora of links to hundreds of
organizations that have come forward (at obvious risk) to stand up against
the anti-freedom (aka Patriot Act) act.

It's so ironic that at the very same time as US troops are fighting on
foreign soil - according to their President's revised mission to secure
freedom for the Iraqi people - freedoms in the USA are at one of the lowest
points in decades.
