"I suppose if you're a terrorist supporter, then you'll have some problems with the Patriot Act..."

Nah... THEY like the weakening of our Democracy and freedoms.

(It falls right into their game plan as the vastly smaller and weaker opponent in this episode of asymmetrical warfare.)

...It's the American patriots who don't like the Orwellian-named 'Patriot Act'.

Although it does contain some quite reasonable (and perhaps even useful) tweaks to our laws... it also has some quite unhelpful crapola, useful mostly only to permanently enhance the power of the Executive, irrespective of whether there is any war on or not.

(A lot of the provisions are things that have been just hanging around, sitting on the shelf waiting for the proper opportunity to be forced through, ever since the Clinton administration - when it was first turned back.)
