 Defending the patriot act

John Podesta
Many of the electronic surveillance provisions in the Patriot Act faced serious opposition prior to September 11 from a coalition of privacy advocates, computer users, and elements of high-tech industry. The events of September 11 convinced many in that coalition and overwhelming majorities in Congress that law enforcement and national security officials need new legal tools to fight terrorism.
But we should not forget what gave rise to the original opposition?many aspects of the bill increase the opportunity for law enforcement and the intelligence community to return to an era where they monitored and sometimes harassed individuals who were merely exercising their First Amendment rights. Nothing that occurred on September 11 mandates that we return to such an era. If anything, the events of September 11 should redouble our resolve to protect the rights we as Americans cherish.
Therefore, as the new powers granted under the Patriot Act begin to be exercised, we should not only feel more confident that our country has the tools to be safe but we should be ever vigilant that these new tools are not abused.
John Podesta is a visiting professor of law at the Georgetown University Law Center. He served as President Clinton?s chief of staff from 1998-2001.

I wanted to post this as a beginning to my defense of the patriot act. The point here is that we are not helpless because of the passage of this act. We are still obligated to watch our government and ensure that it does the right thing with the powers that it has!
There are many safeguards put in place within the USDPA to ensure that our constitutional rights are not violated. I will expound on them later once I have organised my thoughts on the matter.
Anyone who has not read the patriot act should do so. do not entrust your mind to paranoid interpretations of the act.Read it and form your own conclusions. I will post more directly.

basically the PA opens the doors on wiretaps and basically is supreme invasion of privacy, can declare anyone an enemy combatant and not have to provide reason or even let anyone know what is going on. i don't see what theres not to be paranoid about. to make sure it doesn't get abused you'd have to monitor every agent or police officer using their PA privlages and thats just not possible. before a judge would have to issue permission based on evidence to collect survalence on someone which was the means of keeping agents in check. but not any more. joe schmoe dea or fbi or atf or country cop can go invade your rights now. THERE IS NO WAY OF SAFEGUARDING EVERY CORRUPT COP/AGENT/POLITITION OUT THERE FROM ABUSING NEW POWERS. when/if this whole terrorism sharade ends, it will be common practice to be using these powers for whatever reasons they adopted them for. lets say some local cops figure out that there might not be any terrorists in their town but with roaming wiretaps they sure can catch a lot of drug deals. so they abuse the power in the name of fighting drugs or fighting UV radiation or in the name of god or whatever. you cannot TRUST government or people in positions of power to not eventually corrupt themselves.

This statement shows your ignorance. If you do not want to read the act for your self, relax, I will post some truth about these issues shortly.

Some people wonder how a regime like Nazi Germany could have come into being, how the German citizens could have supported the growth of such a monstrosity. Thank you for providing us with an insight into understanding such things...

Faded, although you are entitled to your opinion, I honestly don't understand how ANYONE could support the Patriot act. It's only purpose is to give the government even more power against it's own people. This does nothing but promote even more fear and paranoia than is already in place in the U.S. I hope you are never declared as an "enemy combatant" for smoking a joint...because you won't be able to even protest your arrest...you will have NO rights whatsoever, that includes rights to councel.

I am compiling a list of safeguard and time limit clauses from the USAPA right now. Although I understand your paranoia , it is not justified when you really read the information.
The situations in which most of these powers can be used are extremely limited! After reading the documents for myself I realize most all of the apprehensions are based on a fear of the government in general. It is our government.
Fear of the government takes it out of our hands!

Precisely. The problem with the Patriot Act is that it depends on the self restraint of those in power. Even if those in power today are scrupulously honest and fair (and all evidence I have seen leads me to conclude this is not the case), and use the powers granted them by the act in the most minimalist possible manner, there is no guarantee that the person who follows them will be.
This is precisely how the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights were eroded to the point where they are now mere words on aging pieces of paper. It didn't happen all at once, it was a steady nibbling away at the corners here and there over a period of decades and even centuries; nibbles that may even have been taken by people who were sincerely convinced they were doing the right thing.
Some things (despite what the Pragmatists try to tell you) can't be compromised. Some things can't be left to the supposed fairness and reasonableness of those in power.

I do not want to close all of your minds anymore than fear and paranoia already has by saying the wrong thing now.So I will be careful.
But the truth is noone here seems to understand what the PA actually says. It is as if an irrational and crippling fear has skewed your thinking. Bear with me and I will try and make it very clear for all of you.
BTW evolving, there is absolutely no relationship to this and Nazi Germany. Quit feeding the paranoia!

It is not paranoia to learn from history. Recent U.S. history is full of examples of incrementalism where a particular piece of legislation was passed with a specific intent cited by the legislators. However, the legislation is usually left very vague and open ended. A couple of years later, government agents are enforcing the law in manners in which it was never stated to be used or to a greater extent than was ever (explicitly) intended. An old example - the income tax, a newer example - asset forfeiture laws.
Look at the history of the WOD drugs!!! Look at WACO and Ruby Ridge! Look at the long list of examples of police abuse and murder under color of authority. Are you blind to the abuse of power that has taken place?
People who blindly believe the good intentions of their governments are the reason governments like Nazi Germany come into being. Whenever you grant government the power for the purpose of 'doing good,' you grant and equal amount of power to the government to do evil. Good intentions mean nothing, it's results that count. History tells us to expect governments to abuse any power that is granted to them
Do me a favor and read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Compare these documents with the Patriot Act and The Patriot Act II.

faded are you serious?
I have read the patriot act. I have read the patriot act 2. I have read news reports where people are being raided by S.W.A.T. teams simply for cooking BBQ because people are reporting them, saying that they are biological labs. (I suppose they think this because the see smoke, I really dont know). People are being arrested for speaking out vs. America and policies. People are being detained in this country (USA) simply for having videos that show how a police state is comming. I have witnessed situations where cops violate the law by taking people detaining them for hours, trying to make up false charges, taking away property (stealing). So besides all the terrible things written in the patriot acts, what about the training and brainwashing of the police?
Seriously you dont see anything wrong with a neighbor calling the cops because you are cooking on a BBQ pit and they think you have a biological lab, and the swat team shows up invades your home, while you are at gunpoint? And this is not theory, thats the thing, this is really happening. People are being stopped in thier cars for no reason, searched, detained, harrased.
I really simply can not understand where you are coming from faded. I can't imagine that you are being serious.
And please do not patronize me by saying I am spreading delusion or panic.

faded... the patriot act is very bad... now, other than accusing others on this board of ignorance and paranoia, and saying that you'll get back to us with facts, you haven't really said much; nothing you've said has very much weight or substance.
it seems as though you trust the government not only to not abuse these new powers, but to not even use them to their full extent. i assure you faded, they will do anything and everything that the patriot act allows them to do, and when no one's watching, even more. and we're all waiting on the facts you claim to have...
We are still obligated to watch our government and ensure that it does the right thing with the powers that it has!
i ask you faded, do you think that the government does the right thing with the powers it has now? (do you support the war on drugs? was waco, ruby ridge, and the MOVE fiasco "doing the right thing"?). "all obligated to watch"? under laws like the patriot act, watching is all we're going to be able to do.
you seem to trust our government. i ask you... why?
i do hope that you refrain from commiting any illegal acts. if you don't, maybe some day you'll find that you've been given "enemy combattant" status... then maybe you'll be able to find out exactly what "extradited for processing" means.
do not be so naive. people who thought like you are the ones who let hitler rise to power. they trusted their government.

Nice speech mush ::clapping::
You Obviously have not read the USAPA, Or you would know that these powers everyone is so afraid of are very specific in thier scope.
While you echo paranoia rather nicely (you make a good soundboard) once again you provide no facts. Do not think because you have huddled with the fear crowd that you are exempt from providing facts. I will deal with you more directly later.
What I am compiling will take some time. Be patient or go to the OTD and kill some time.

Oh Please..the patriot act was pushed through in the panic following 9-11. Nobody even had the chance to review it before it was passed.
- It breaks the political backs of the judiciary and legislative branches of government.
- It allows random arrests and detention without hearings or trials for anyone or any group designated by the President. Also allows Retroactive Prosecution...
- It allows the concealment of Presidential records.
- It permits secret "Military Tribunals" for presidentially-designated "terrorists".
- It legalizes "sneak-n-peek" searches and seizures.
- It allows the unlawful infiltration and surveillance of legal, domestic religious, labor and political organizations.
- It allows the wholesale surveillance of private citizens, private business records and other materials without proof of probable cause.
- It destroys all e-mail and internet privacy...
Are you refuting any of those?...You are in the unenviable position of trying to endorse something that I suspect even you know is wrong...

not only were they not allowed to review it, if there was any opposition to it then that person would be labeled as "unpatriotic" In other words they were bullied into passing this thing.
Its sick. Really its not like the intentions are even being hidden anymore. I mean dont you know that they were trying to actively pass the patriot act long before Sept. 11. I mean these same acts were being pushed through under other names for at least 2 years before Sept 11. But of course they did not go through because its plain to see how they go against the constitution outright. But now because of Sept. 11th they can just push it through real fast, no review, tell everyone who would object that they will be unamerican and are placed under other threats.
Now you also must know that the Patriot act 2 was LEAKED to the public. It was not given out by the govt. there are still people in there that know what is going on, and the drafts for patriot act 2 were leaked out. Now what does that tell you?? That means that they have been working on patriot act for a while. Why has it not been implemented??? Cause it is so sick, so communistic, so blatantly destructive to the constitution that it might have not been possible to quell oposition to it. Patriot act I is bad enough. So hmmm lets think, why has patriot act II not be passed yet?? Simple, because there has not been a great enough of an "attack" to justify such an act. So, is such an attack comming? who is going to cause it? Al-queda? the taliban? Saddam?? No. The United States Govt. is going to cause such an attack, rush Patriot act 2 through, and then maybe, people will wake up but if you understand anything about patriot act 2 it will be wayyyyy too late.
Anyway theory aside, you can look at the facts and the fact is the patriot act and patriot act 2 are evil.

No. That is the fun part. Actually I am preoccupied with trying to do many things at once. I do not really think there is any point to what I am trying to do, But atleast I will be able to say That I tried.
It seems that most people have made up there minds about this issue based on an overall feeling of fear and paranoia. I hear alot about how evil the patriot act is but no one seems willing to break it down objectively. I will try.
And stonefish, Since YOU told me to shutup I will seriously consider it.Promise.

Carnivore, Eschelon, Green Lantern, Tempest, Halo
Look them up on google, if you find nothing on them I'm not really supprised, I first heard of Halo and Tempest over 10 years ago while they were still in development...
Halo will disrupt the EMF, preventing any and all electrinic communications including radio
Tempest will allow the government to eavesdrop on your electronic devices, ie...computers, televisions, radios or what ever, and there is no provisions to prevent this
carnivore,eschelon and green lantern should be easy to find. if you feel that the patriot act is the first violation of privacy, you are wrong.

Few are more to the right here than I am.
The Patriot Act sucks, and will be (hopefully) declared unconstitutional.
And if you weren't ready with your supporting statements you should have been smart enough not to even start this stupid fucking thread. Quite frankly you are a %$#@!&*^%.

AH shucks, you truly hurt my feelings. I did not really expect to make any friends here, trust me.
And when it comes to not being ready, Well I actually wanted to see some specific commentary on the main points from you people. I wanted to see if any of you had actually read it or not. Well, so far I am disappointed. It does not seem like anyone has any specific knowledge of what the thing actually says. Everyone just says stuff like "Its evil" or "the patriot act sucks".
As for being so far to the right ,You seem to fit right in here luvdumshrooms.
"The Patriot Act sucks, and will be (hopefully) declared unconstitutional" Brilliant luvdumshrooms, just brilliant.

if you read the posts of others on this board, you would see that they have given many, many facts about what exactly the patriot act does. i don't need to be redundant. you, faded, do not have the same luxury. there is no one here who has beaten you to posting facts supporting your arguments, as there have been those supporting mine. yet you do not post any factual substance. few would argue that it is you who "once again provides no facts".
Do not think because you have huddled with the fear crowd that you are exempt from providing facts.
the fact that the vast majority shares the same view as i do does not make it any less reasonable. there is no reason why you should assume that i feel the way i do because i am simply following the crowd. again i say, it is you who seems to feel that he is "exempt from providing facts".
I will deal with you more directly later.
sounds threatening...
What I am compiling will take some time. Be patient or go to the OTD and kill some time.
good. i'm sure it will be excellent. we'll all be waiting patiently for your compilation of things you've cut and pasted.

"What I am compiling will take some time. Be patient or go to the OTD and kill some time."
I did! How much fucking time do i need to waste? Mabye you should compile your argument prior to making such grandoise claims!
But you are much to wise for that! I know you are very wise because you judge us as a group as weare all against the patriot act. But you! Your arguments are unique! NO body agrees with you, so that means that you alone are enlightened.

Precisely. The problem with the Patriot Act is that it depends on the self restraint of those in power. Even if those in power today are scrupulously honest and fair (and all evidence I have seen leads me to conclude this is not the case), and use the powers granted them by the act in the most minimalist possible manner, there is no guarantee that the person who follows them will be.
Exactly. I wonder how faded would feel if the Patriot Act was passed during the Clinton Administration.

The patriot act is unconstitutional.It's for control freaks who would enslave man.75 years ago America was a shining beacon of liberty and freedom to the world.Now we have become a global bully.I'm confident that one day,America will be restored to the constitutional principals that we were founded on.Some people havn't gotten it yet.The rights declared in the US Constitution are for everyone.When you violate the rights of any person, you are guilty of crimes against humanity.I don't see how anyone cannot see the great abuse of power this will become.The politicans must be laughing their asses off at the foolish sheepish people they control.

Hey Fade, Here is your wonderful Patriot Act in action...........
Santa Fe Police Arrest Attorney For Comments he Made In An Internet Chat-Room
A St. John’s College Library visit by a former public defender was abruptly interrupted February 13 when city police officers arrested him about 9 p.m. at the computer terminal he was using, handcuffed him, and brought him to the Santa Fe, New Mexico, police station for questioning by Secret Service agents from Albuquerque. Andrew J. O’Conner, 40, who was released about five hours later, said in the February 16 Santa Fe New Mexican, “I’m going to sue the Secret Service, Santa Fe Police, St. John’s, and everybody involved in this whole thing.”
According to O’Connor, the agents accused him of making threatening remarks about President George W. Bush in an Internet chat room. Admitting he talked politics face-to-face in the library with a woman who was wearing a “No war with Iraq” button, O’Connor recalled saying that Bush is “out of control,” but that “I’m allowed to say all that. There is this thing called freedom of speech.” He also speculated that the FBI might have been observing him because of his one-time involvement in a pro-Palestinian group in Boulder, Colorado.
Earlier on the same day O’Connor was questioned, officials at St. John’s—as well as at the College of Santa Fe and Santa Fe Community College—issued warnings to students and faculty that the FBI had been alerted to the presence of “suspicious” people on campus within the past four weeks.
Concern about threats to individual privacy under the USA Patriot Act has prompted New Mexico legislators in both houses to propose resolutions urging state police not to help federal agents infringe on civil rights. The resolutions also encourage libraries to post prominent signage warning patrons that their library records are subject to federal scrutiny without their permission or knowledge.

------------moral of the story......watch what you say about our President, it may come back to bite you in the ass.
If this doesn't scare you, than I'm afraid there is something wrong with you. (Just my opinion)

61 replies trying to squeeze a rationale for the Patriot Act out of some high school student who couldn't think his way out of an open field.
This takes my vote for the stupidest Political forum thread of all time (although I'm hoping somebody will correct me with some even dumber examples from the past).

Pinkwings...I thought I would try to be helpful and see if I could find anything to support your stance on the Patriot act, but the more I try to help..the more damning the Patriot Act appears...
Here is a list of Rights being trampled by the Patriot act...
* FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION: Government may monitor religious and political institutions without suspecting criminal activity to assist terror investigation.
* FREEDOM OF INFORMATION: Government has closed once-public immigration hearings, has secretly detained hundreds of people without charges, and has encouraged bureaucrats to resist public records requests.
* FREEDOM OF SPEECH: Government may prosecute librarians or keepers of any other records if they tell anyone that the government subpoenaed information related to a terror investigation.
* RIGHT TO LEGAL REPRESENTATION: Government may monitor federal prison jailhouse conversations between attorneys and clients, and deny lawyers to Americans accused of crimes.
* FREEDOM FROM UNREASONABLE SEARCHES: Government may search and seize Americans' papers and effects without probable cause to assist terror investigation.
* RIGHT TO A SPEEDY AND PUBLIC TRIAL: Government may jail Americans indefinitely without a trial.
* RIGHT TO LIBERTY: Americans may be jailed without being charged or being able to confront witnesses against them.

And what's the deal about being patriotic? Do you have to love your country no matter what?

Well theres nothing else in this thread worth reading so you might as well lock it then. The title is defending the patriot act, but the poster never completed his arguments.......
What do you expect when someone post something like "the patriot act is good" and then fucks off for a couple days....all the while insulting those who ask him about his thread.

Yes but if you assimilate us do we have to be Canadian?

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

Just for that, I'm going to buy the house next door to you and drive down the property values.
