Obama signs extension of Patriot Act
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Obama has signed a one-year extension of several provisions in the nation's main counterterrorism law, the Patriot Act.
Provisions in the measure would have expired on Sunday without Obama's signature Saturday.
The act, which was adopted in the weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, expands the government's ability to monitor Americans in the name of national security.
Three sections of the Patriot Act that stay in force will:
• Authorize court-approved roving wiretaps that permit surveillance on multiple phones.
• Allow court-approved seizure of records and property in anti-terrorism operations.
• Permit surveillance against a so-called lone wolf, a non-U.S. citizen engaged in terrorism who may not be part of a recognized terrorist group.
Obama's signature comes after the House voted 315 to 97 Thursday to extend the measure.
The Senate also approved the measure, with privacy protections cast aside when Senate Democrats lacked the necessary 60-vote supermajority to pass them. Thrown away were restrictions and greater scrutiny on the government's authority to spy on Americans and seize their records.

"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama
when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'

or should it be "sham sham sham"?
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Yeah - I'm not entirely sure how "Change we can believe in" is that much different to "more of the same"

Not sure I really even see a difference between corporations and government anymore... They all exist to serve a dollar driven bottom line.

And they are court ordered wiretaps, seizures and surveillance... not the warentless wiretaps of the Bush administraton. I don't mind if the government wiretaps my home as long as they get a court order to do so. And they better have probable cause with that warrant as provide me by the Fourth amendment.

Also... believe it or not... there are still persons out there that would love of set off a bomb over here. It would be nice if we can catch them before the crime, than after it.
Hail, Hail!!!
