Not even Hitler had the testicles to write something as bad as the Patriot Act on paper. If you like the Patriot Act you need to go live somewhere else because it is evil, and it will ruin our nation. If you give up your liberties for securities you do not deserve either.

Why would we want to do that?.. It allows our government to spy on us and we can catch everyone who commits any crime, then we can build more prisons to keep all of those dangerous pot smokers in... We have about 8 million people in our prison justice system and about 2 million already in prison... We can really create a lot of jobs by building prisons to house about "what?", 20-30 million people?... Let's keep that patriot act going, then we can have the Nation we deserve... ps... Many millions of people with my point of view about cannabis (pot) have no rights or security anyway, so let's just end it.

No, they don't. The USA PATRIOT Act is a federal law (actually, the act makes changes to dozens of separete statutory sections).
Because federal law trumps state/local law, every city must comply with federal law provisions. That's the way laws work in the US.

If a state does this, and a terrorist event happens, just think of all the long, drawn out, six digit law suites that state will face. Makes these TV lawyers smile, they can make multiple Beamer payments.

Really!! That's good news. I do know it also expires. And I know that banks can choose not to participate.
Peace.
