Patriot Act Renewal Approved by U.S. Senate - New York Times

Patriot Act Renewal Approved by U.S. Senate - New York Times: "But reaction to today's vote signaled that the Patriot Act will continue to be debated in the United States long after Congress has approved it. The senators opposing the bill, all Democrats except for the independent James Jeffords of Vermont, argued that the civil rights protections written into the measure were too modest."

So, the few will continue to harass the many; kind of like al qaeda.

'"Our support for the Patriot Act does not mean a blank check for the president," said Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader. "What we tried to do on a bipartisan basis is have a better bill. It has been improved."'

So don't think Bush has accomplished anything in the least. So I guess he won't be claiming "we killed the patriot act."
