46. Good quote, Bolo
I do give you that.

But, unfortunately, there was that little Patriot Act (how many pages does it contain?) that was waiting in the wings right after 9/11. The fact that it was so complete so quickly after 9/11 occurred does tend to make me think that what they were afraid of was how the populace would handle perceived severe aggression against our country. They resolved that little issue by being "forward-looking", and drafting the Patriot Act well in advance of the actual attack.

Of course this is only my opinion, and, I do know that you will not agree. But, let's face it, we really don't know what they were thinking.

Peace.
