"Good luck getting the Patriot Act extended." Congressional leaders of both parties are challenging the Bush Administration's resistance to oversight and warning that it could have legislative consequences. Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr., the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, observed that Congress could allow last year's USA PATRIOT Act to expire without renewal if the Justice Department did not adequately respond to congressional inquiries. He said that his message to Attorney General John Ashcroft was, "If you want to play 'I've got a secret,' good luck getting the Patriot Act extended." Rep. Sensenbrenner also said that he was prepared to subpoena the Attorney General to get the information the Committee needed.
