The Defeat of the Patriot Act is a most Patriotic thing

After showing how well the Bush administration would safeguard against abuses of the Patriot Act by allowing the NSA to operate clandestine surveillance and wiretapping inside the country, it is a joke that they promised that there would not be abuses of the powers if the extension of the act was passed. As Republican Senator, John Sununu, of New Hampshire said so eloquently on the floor of the Senate "Those that would give up essential liberties in the pursuit of a little temporary security deserve neither liberty nor security." At last, an old school Republican.
Hallelujah!!!!!!! It is great to see that there are enough Republicans of character left in the Senior Chamber to stand up to the bullying tactics of the Bush White House.
