YouTube - USA using Patriot Act against its own citizens Amendment V "...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" Amendment IV "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, ... and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense"
What I found enlightening is that all of the Dems who fought tooth and nail against the Patriot Act have suddenly shut up now that a Democrat President is in charge. It's funny how power works. They could repeal it if they wanted to with their majority status. So much for change. For the record, I wish it was repealed. Liberty is more valuable than safety to me.
