So please explain to me how I was "demonstrably" wrong? 8 out of 10 Democratic Congressmen voted FOR the Patriot act including 98% of the Senators yet you want to contest my statement? LOL
Coming from the guy who thinks there's been no attacks on abortion rights or worker rights recently I think it's pretty self explainatory that your attempt to falsely color the Patriot Act as an overwhelming majority of Democratic culpability is laughable.

Oh, and include the renewal of the Patriot Acts' three provisions - who was against that?

And I'll point out that once again, as is your wont, you've avoided discussing the question, and created a false straw man diversion. Can't debate the subject, huh? Here was the comment you were trying to answer by changing the subject to the Patriot Act.

Do you have anything to address regarding a political faction who purports to "defend liberty and Constitutional rights" while completely ignoring their factual removal? Other than to try and re-write history to make the Patriot Act the result of those darn Democrats?
