I'm glad the ACLU has been slowing chipping away at the Patriot Act. It's filled to the brim with crap. The latest ruling gets rid of the gag orders automatically imposed on people by the FBI.

Let's thank the librarians (yes, the book people) that stood up to the shady men in black.

I dunno. Gotta keep an eye on those book-pushers. A more dangerous bunch of potential troublemakers never existed. Remember, The Moose Whacker hadda go after one up there in Alaska, the land of the True Americans. The threats to family values and the One True Faith are everywhere.

I can't wait to see what part gets axed next. Even better would be the jerks that passed the Act to go back and get rid of it.

What would they have to do to make the PA null...short of bringing every paragraph to the courts? Would they need a new bill or do they do a repeal thing? I want it gone.
