Patriot Act On 'Fast Track' For Approval; Constitution Has Been Ripped To Shreads
The entire U.S.Senate should be removed from power for allowing the Patriot Act to become a permanent law.
The revised version of the Patriot Act is on a fast track for congressional approval, indicating the level of corruption in the U.S. Senate calls for each and every Senator to be removed from office on charges of treason.Full Article by Greg Szymanski
While millions of Americans throughout the country protest the erosion of their privacy rights, the hijacking of the U.S. Constitution is in its final stages on Capitol Hill, as the severe revisions of the Patriot Act are set for "permanent" approval.
And what makes the permanent passage so dangerous is that it replaces "suspicion" of being a "domestic terrorist" without a probable cause warrant as the legal standard for surveillance, leaving innocent Americans wide open for intrusive spying programs based on the unjustified whims of government agents.
Further, the target words "domestic terrorist" are not sufficiently defined, again leaving the government a huge legal loophole to detain and arrest an innocent person based on unfounded suspicions.
As legal scholars in both camps argue the constitutionality of the law, the premise behind the passage of the law - the true source of terrorism - has never been fully explored by Congress.
