It’s not dead yet.
Thursday, December 22nd, 2005The Senate gave the PATRIOT act 6 more months with additional provisions, led by none other than Bill Frist. If he gets elected in three years, I’d be more worried for the nation than with Bush. Anyway, the House is meeting in an hour to vote to approve the changes, but hopefully they disapprove, for the sake of personal liberties.
UPDATE (4:37 PM EST): House decided it should only be extended for 5 weeks. Issue goes back to the Senate. Also, Rep. James Sensenbrenner is as scary as Frist. Thankfully, I have no fears of him ever being elected president.
