Is the Patriot act unconstitutional?

Question

YES it is, abolustely!!!!!!!!!!

The Bill of Rights (being part of the consitution) are very clear that you cannot infringe on people's rights.

You cannot make someone incriminate themselves. You cannot deny someone a fair trial, you cannot invade a persons privacy.

Habeas Corpus is the ability to defend yourself against incrimination but even that is denied.

People might say that these things can only happen to "enemy combatants", but in the law "enemy combatant" is defined very very vaguely. Including radicals.

A real american doesn't vote for a law just because "patriot" is in the name nor should they obey that law. A real american speaks out against oppression. Thomas Jefferson called dissent the highest form of patriotism.

VOTE RON PAUL

I have read the Patriot Act for your information, well part of it, it's a pretty big law (lots of pages). I have personally read what makes a person an enemy combatant and I still have no idea who these people are, WHICH INCLUDES RADICALS, and it is a very prevelent topic that is ignored by the major media.

I would like to know what people think of the patriot act if it isn't an infringement on our rights?

Every single detainee put in the newspaper as being caught being a terrorist has been let go just as soon as it hits the papers, go ahead google it.

to truth:
just because someone's a democrat doesn't make them left. And just because other presidents invaded people's privacy doesn't make it right. And I don't hate the right, in fact I'm registered republican you claud.

Answer 1

Coup d'état

Answer 2

The Constitution only applies to citizens of this country. For those caught fighting this country and working as enemy combatants, pitty. Just about every single line item in the Patriot Act was based on a previously existing precident or law. Wire taps -- on the books since the 1930s. Searches of personal property -- "Probable Cause" when pulled over for a traffic violation... et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. A REAL American would never promote the values and ideolgies of the ACLU.

Answer 3

If you already knew the answer, why did you ask the question? I know Ron Paul supporters have their heads in the clouds, but if you could come back down to earth with the rest of us for a second, you could check and see that the Supreme Court which is supposed to be a check against laws that violate the Constitution has constantly heard cases about the Patriot Act and have accepted the pieces they saw so, sorry it is constitutional, but thanks for the propaganda.

Answer 4

sure that's against all that our forefathers have been against while they wrote the form. each and every time we enable politicians get rid of any of our rights we develop into enslaved a splash extra each and every time. Abraham Lincoln do no longer intervene with something in the form. That might desire to be maintained, for it is the only shelter of our liberties. Benjamin Franklin They that can furnish up necessary liberty to get carry of a splash short-term protection deserve neither liberty nor protection. i admire people who say,in case you have no longer something to hide, you have no longer something to worry.tell that to all and sundry who became ever falsely imprisoned. Are you prepared to place your have faith into the palms of politicians that lie, thieve, cheat, hide their activities, pardon those that do, etc... ? i'm no longer! for the period of historic previous you will locate human beings and international places that did merely that. They positioned their have faith in human beings like this. "How fortunate for governments that human beings do no longer think of." Adolf Hitler "it is the leaders of the country who be sure the coverage and that's consistently a normal count number to tug the folk alongside, no count number if that's a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the folk can consistently be further to the bidding of the leaders. it rather is elementary. All you ought to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for loss of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. it works an analogous in any united states." --Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering in case you have self assurance that the U.S. is the final united states in the international, shall we save it that way. i could a lot extremely combat with my constitutional rights intact than die a slave scuffling with for a rustic whose politicians think of all they do is exclusive, yet all I do ought to be puzzled. you're no longer as risk-free as you think of.

Answer 5

Not accordly to Clinton as he had Nancy Garalic stand before congress and say he could tune into any one he wanted. Seems you forget this.

Also during WWII FDR did much worse he had women open every letter to and from the US and listen to every phone call.

Seems Bush has done much less then the left at every turn.

Answer 6

Could you please provide the actual parts of the Patriot Act which violates what you have written above?

Oh, you can't? What's that? You have not actually read the
Patriot Act? I bet you heard from someone what the Patriot Act says....

It is this kind of personal ignorance upon which Ron Paul is basing his campaign. This is why he cannot win.

Answer 7

With mixed triumph in part due to electronic interception, the successful tracking and killing of al Qaeda's terrorist mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

If that is unconstitutioal, so be it!

Answer 8

Yes, or it would have been overturned.

The only people complaining about the Patriotic Act, are people who are afraid of being wiretapped while talking to terrorists on the phone.

Answer 9

not at all. you really should brush up on what the patriot act actually does. It merely allows the same intelligence gathering for terrorists as it does for mobsters. and that has been unanimously successful.

Answer 10

No.

Ron Paul has no chance.

Next question.
