Yeah, it's getting more than a little scary ou there.  There was an excellent
analysis of the full impact of the Patriot Act posted over at:

And the full text of the so-called Patriot Act, for those who want to see it
for themselves (which a lot of congressmen didn't prior to voting for it) is
at:

Of the republicans in the White House in the recent past, Nixon was a crook,
Reagan did immeasurable damage to the country, Bush Senior was okay just
barely, I think his heart was in the right place but he was just sorta
clueless...but this is the first administration that has sent the same kind of
worry and downright fear through me that was previously only associated with
the McCarthy/HUAC period.

They're shredding the Constitution up there with terrifying speed.
