As long as no drug laws, or terrorism laws are being broke, I find it a bit of a stretch to think that the patriot act will be applied ( unless they link spam funds to terrorist profits)
if the day comes where the prosecuitions get that out of hand, I bet you will see the end of the patriot act. ( and no one wants that from the right wing)
clearly the supreme court is setting boundries on wild and overzealous undue punishment by their ruling on Mandatory sentencing that was just knocked down.
I would think that they, the supreme court, (if given the chance to rule on it ) will also not allow the wide net that sceptics were afraid of when the patriot act came out , to be cast.
I do still have some hope for our country, and do not believe it will turn into a full blown police state as many claim.
