What do you think about Patriotic Act of 2001. Answer should be base on the law. Please read the details.

Question

U.S. Patriotic Act of 2001 was enacted right after 911 and it's very controversial due to the surveillance in electronic communications. Many people feel that the government overstepped its boundaries by invading our privacy rights and spying us. Other believe is part of the homeland security. What do you all think,

Answer 1

The liberal middle and working class have the right to remain SILENT, anything they say can be used against them in martial law trials. When the War of Freedom for Iran begins the full force of the Patriot Act will be needed and felt. OUR President Bush and VP Cheney have NOTHING TO HIDE. NOTHING!!!

These liberal "investigation" attacks need to be STOPPED, NOW. The liberal middle and working classes are a domestic terror threat, they have to be watched and controlled.

Answer 2

I don't think about it. Because, I don't care. I'll be dead soon.

Answer 3

Those who think that any part of the Patriot Act of 2001 "invades our right to privacy or spies on us" is wrong. It doesn't. Therefore, I am also glad that Nancy Pelosi allowed the bill which prevents people from suing communications companies that cooperate with the government was voted on and signed into law. We should have had this law a long time ago and perhaps we could have prevented 9/11.

Answer 4

I think that we should understand that giving up our rights for security will not work at stopping terrorists, but it will aid in creating them. What it does is give massive power to those who use the new laws, my reasoning behind that is that information is power. And how can someone be a whistle-blower or take steps for freedoms when those with the power can know what your doing when your doing it.

Its immoral, unethical and inhumane.

remember this quote - the patriot act is the same thing as the enabling act tha Hitler used -

"In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;

And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;

And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;

And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."

Answer 5

I'm not sure how I feel about it.  It doesn't affect me.  Perhaps someone it does affect should challenge it in court

Answer 6

I was thinking about this very thing when I posted this question...

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

To be honest, it hasn't harmed me... yet? I have no desire to harm anyone  in any way, so I feel that I shouldn't be worried. I work, I pay taxes, I support myself and I'm an asset to society.

I'm harmless.

For some reason, this act makes me want to puke.

Answer 7

Most of it is unConstitutional.

Answer 8

The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land.  Anything made by government officials that is contrary to the United States Constitution is null and void and can not be enforced.  They unfortanatly (cause no one knows their rights anymore) will enforce them and the crooked courts and president and congress members who allow such things to pass should all be tried for Violation of oath, and treason.  Cause making such laws against the people to control them is "in my opinon" waging war against the people and their rights, which is treason.
