Glad to see not everyone is rolling over and being submissive. This country wasn't created and built by people who were afraid to challenge threats to their freedom.

From the article:

"The ACLU says that Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which allows the FBI access to any "tangible things", including books and documents obtained through an order from a secret court, does not require investigators to show probable cause."

To me, "secret court" sounds more like something from the old soviet union, than the USA.

These are same folks that think foreign terrorists should have the same rights in this country as American citizens.
