I appreciate your reply. The greatest part of the Patriot Act that I have problems is its seemingly universal application to what was supposed to be a focused area of problems. I do not agree with the application of laws in instances where they were never intended to be applied. There are certain aspects of the Act that can be manipulated in such a manner. If laws are being passed, especially when it comes to the right of citizens, then they need to be specific. Do you see due process as being a right of every citizen of the U.S.? The Bill of Rights does and the Patriot Act does not. There divergence is there. I ask which supercedes which.
Expansion on your part is appreciated.
