Thanks Robert......I hope you realize I didn't mean this in a partisan spirit just a liberty issue.


Levin introduced it though in a defense appropriations bill which as the article said is rarely voted against.

Franken is right on most of the issues. He is against the patriot act and has fought to get rid of the government over-reach in that bill as well.

This law is a natural extention of the patriot act and paranoia about terrorism. The country was willing, for some reason, to give up some privacy for safety 10 years ago. I hope the country pays closer attention to crap like this and fights back by not voting for the people who support laws like this.

Right according to who??????You Fuzzy?????Yet I do intend to look a little closer at Rep. Franken...........I still think he's a nut for the most part.

I do not for one minute buy that this law is a natural extention of the Patriot Act.While not a huge fan of the Patriot Act,I am a realist and understand that some of this provisions in thsi act are absolutely necessary.I also believe that most of this being made openly available to the public is absolutely wrong.......Kind of like telegraphing your plays in advance to your opponent.If solely used to PROTECT the general public.........I'm OK with that.This so called natural extension is nothing more than the extreme left stroking their power pole......and yes given the opportunity I think the left would lock up all conservatives in a reeducation camp..............But only for the GREATER GOOD.[sarcasm]
