"I researched some of those involved in the Sundance Channel's film on how we are losing our civil liberities...." We're losing our civil liberties? I can't think of one civil liberty I've lost due to the Patriot Act. I can't think of a single instance where I had to think about what I was about to do for fear of the implications of the Patriot Act. NOT ONE! Perhaps you can list how deeply it has impacted your life. Please list all of them for us. And please link me to the alleged evidence you claim you found. I'm really interested in reading about how terrible my life has become under the Patriot Act.

"Representative Peter DeFazio from Orgeon was against voting in the USA Patriot Act when it was discovered that the version adopted by the House and Senate had been altered by Ashcroft." OK, explain to me how this dude voted for what he thought was the Patriot Act, but that version was later "altered" by Ashcroft & it never became a huge firestorm of controversy in the liberal MSM. There is absolutely no doubt they would have made this headline news until both Ashcroft & Bush resigned in shame & disgrace. It's no secret the MSM absolutely hate Ashcroft. So how did this so completely escape their radar screen? Hell, if I knew this really happened I'd be outraged to no end. Why didn't this become even a minor issue ever? I can't wait for this explanation. "David Cole, law professor at Georgetown said the implication was that anyone who questioned it was a traitor." So you substitute your personal opinion & conjecture for another person's unsubstantiated OPINION. What does that prove other than unsubstantiated opinions are OFF TOPIC on this thread? "Barbara Oshansky head of the Center for Constitutional Rights spoke about the arresting of immigrants immediately. That their rights and privileges under the constitution Due process of law were flagrantly disregarded." So she opines. Where is the evidence that any of this actually happened in the real world? Why hasn't the MSM been all over this? Perhaps it's all wild speculation & tin-foil-hat conspiracy theories? So far, this doesn't even pass the stink test.
