I need strong points for pro patriot act?

Answer 1

There are no strong points for trampling our constitution. Bush and his big oil and big business buddies are making billions, but that is certainly not a strong point.

Answer 2

Patriot act isn't that bad, its just there to protect people. Like the government can use it to find possible preditors, which they have. The only problem I have is the "gag rule"- a librarian cannot tell someone if the government checked on their records, even when asked by the person. I don't find that fair at all

Answer 3

Edward,

No islamic terrorist attacks on U.S. soil since the first WTC attack. More then 8 years passed before 911.

======================
CLARK = ANTI-TERRORISM EXPERT UNDER REAGAN, BUSH SR, CLINTON, AND BUSH JR

By June 2001, there still hadn't been a Cabinet-level meeting on terrorism, even though U.S. intelligence was picking up an unprecedented level of ominous chatter.

The CIA director warned the White House, Clarke points out. "George Tenet was saying to the White House, saying to the president - because he briefed him every morning - a major al Qaeda attack is going to happen against the United States somewhere in the world in the weeks and months ahead. He said that in June, July, August."

Clarke says the last time the CIA had picked up a similar level of chatter was in December, 1999, when Clarke was the terrorism czar in the Clinton White House.

Clarke says Mr. Clinton ordered his Cabinet to go to battle stations-- meaning, they went on high alert, holding meetings nearly every day.

That, Clarke says, helped thwart a major attack on Los Angeles International Airport, when an al Qaeda operative was stopped at the border with Canada, driving a car full of explosives.

Clarke harshly criticizes President Bush for not going to battle stations when the CIA warned him of a comparable threat in the months before Sept. 11: "He never thought it was important enough for him to hold a meeting on the subject, or for him to order his National Security Adviser to hold a Cabinet-level meeting on the subject."

Finally, says Clarke, "The cabinet meeting I asked for right after the inauguration took place-- one week prior to 9/11."

Answer 4

No further attacks since 9/11...strongest point out there.

The libs will howl about the patriot act (they don't even know why, they just follow their party's talking points) but almost all high profile libs voted yes for the act and to extend it.

Answer 5

There are none-it is unconstitutional and will be thrown out as soon as someone takes it into federal court.

Answer 6

The Libs in Congress don't seem too bothered by it.
