re: #102 Political Atheist

Obdicut-This Page has an editorial that gets into the Patriot Act and how it (not just pen registers) made metadata collection allegedly legal. It’s more people that have examined the laws and seen this connection same as the ACLU did.

Sunset the Patriot Act and you probably end domestic metadata data gathering like the NSA has been doing.

Sunsetting the Patriot Act will never happen. Post-9/11 hysteria gave the government expanded powers and they’re not going to give them up anytime soon. Also, any POTUS that pushes for getting rid of it will immediately be tarred and feathered as a traitor to America and an Al Qaeda supporter.
