Patriot Act extended
Last night, the Senate agreed to a six month extension of the Patriot Act. This will pass and become law (again) and the bickering and political posturing will continue for another six months. This time will run out just as the election cycle goes into full swing. I think everybody will vote for it, as anybody who votes against it will be bludgeoned with that fact during the campaign by their opponent.
Oh, well. It's been said that there are two things you should not watch being made, laws and sausages. With this information flood we have nowadays, you can't help but watch these bills being made in all of their gory details.
