In the pre-PATRIOT Act era, something else was abused (you surely don't pretend that the FBI was sitting frustrated, eager to violate peoples' rights but unable to do so, until the PATRIOT Act gave them the excuse). Instead of pretending that there is some magic bullet against tyranny, some institutional reform which will prevent the revenooers from doing any but a principled job (after passing which we can all go back to cheating on our wives and scamming customers), how about if we admit that "The price of liberty is eternal vigilence" is not just an electioneering soundbite? mcates: the PATRIOT Act has certainly been abused.

There may have, in fact, been massive "abuse" of the Patriot Act.... but beyond your ideological purity, who are the victims? Application of only a reasonable amount of "perspective" makes ludicrous a comparison between the government intrusion associated with Obamacare vs that of the 2004 FBI ease-dropping. Mcates

All the more reason not to give the government unfettered access to your health records. “Let’s be reasonable, at no point did I say we need to get rid of the Patriot Act, but that doesn’t mean the FBI hasn’t abused it.”

There are so few people who can maintain perspective as the political winds shift. In my view, politicians (left and right) are equally responsible for our problems now as they all lie in bed together. This is why things didn't magically become better when Obama took office, even though Democrats control the entire system. Kudos to Penn for sticking by his guns.
