He must be worried to appear live and talk about it.

The Patriot Act is to sunset (thanks to Conyers for succeeding in adding the amendment) at the end of the year unless Congress votes to extend it.

7. Never thought I'd see the day CNN would put a Dem on first
They have Dem Sen Feingold on first, is basically saying pretzledent is doing a bait and switch and that he's totally wrong on his stance on patrioct act. Says to re-enact it, chips away the Bill of Rights.

let's see who speaks next.

8. PA might be protecting his personal security interests.....it ain't
protecting our freedoms or our national security.

But what treasonous dictator wants transparency in government? What reasonous dictator wants the people to have access to government information? Don't treasonous dictators have motivation to limit civil liberties, not expand them?

9. I don't think it's a coincidence
that we have rooted out an "Al Qaida cell" right here in the Good Ol' US of A just as the Patriot Act is about to sunset.
