Strike One: USA PATRIOT Act
38 House Republicans remember what the phrase "limited government" means.
This might pass the Senate, so, will the White House veto this weakening of the USA PATRIOT Act? Remember, the White House did delay votes on supplemental funding for our troops in Iraq in order to stage that circus called "judicial nuclear option", so, anything is possible.

15 other expiring provisions to go...
"If there are terrorists in libraries studying how to fly planes, how to put together biological weapons, how to put together chemical weapons, nuclear weapons, ... we have to have an avenue through the federal court system so that we can stop the attack before it occurs," said Rep. Tom Feeney, (R) of Florida.
I wonder if Rep. Feeney is one of those people griping about "activist judges". The judiciary is capable of stopping a terrorist attack, but is blind when trying to interpret the Constitution?
