New PATRIOT Act

[Don1]

There is allegedly a new Patriot Act, more unconstitutional amendments to FISA law. Note the following sources:

Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker and my colleagues, our Nation faces an increased threat of a terrorist attack, and yet, Members on both sides of the aisle are well aware of a problem with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. There is a giant loophole that handcuffs the ability of our Nation and our intelligence services to gather the information that would better protect the American people and our allies around the world.

Congress has known about this issue over the last 3 or 4 months, and yet the majority has refused to bring that issue to this floor.

I encourage all of my colleagues to insist that before we leave here for the August district work period, that Congress deal with FISA modernization and close this terrorist loophole so we can better protect the American people.

Mr. CASEY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the majority leader or his designee introduces FISA legislation on August 2, they be considered as having received their first reading on the legislative day of August 1, 2007.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I visited thomas.loc.gov and could not find text of proposed legislation, perhaps because it has not been voted on yet.

Can someone help me to find the legislative text of this new PATRIOT Act?

Please post in thread so everyone can see it...or maybe we won't know again until after it is too late. :(

1. I'm certain the Democratically controlled congress will whisk the NEW patriot act......

though the approval process so that the 'wire tapper-in-chief' can continue HIS fun.

6. I hope not.

Maybe write a letter to the editor? Personally, I would find it hard to do without seeing the text of the legislation which sucks.

3. Pelosi is right on it, giving George, the lovely man, everything he wants.

It was all sealed with a smooch at their breakfast meeting yesterday.

She's just filling in the gaps of the powers he has amassed to control the US of B.

4. How much do you want to bet

that there will be an ex post facto clause giving warrantless authority to anyone who previously did not use a warrant? They did a similar thing in the Military Commissions Act of 2006.

7. How much more do you feel this country is going to take from these

bipartisan criminals?

8. No one is even going to know about this.

Everyone is too busy being scared about bridges.

9. Yep. And by the time the Imperial Subjects of America realize, it will be too late.
