Asskroft has been catching flak from legislators about abuses via USA PATRIOT, so congress is not feeling too benevolent about Patriot 2. They are very pissed that "Patriot 1" was rushed through without time for them to really consider it so they're not going to be fooled again. Pariot 2 is basically martial law so if you haven't written to your legislators multiple times in opposition, you need to start writing. Even conservatives are against it so I don't think it has much chance of passing anyway.
The thing to worry about, really, is pieces of it creeping into otherwise benevolent legislation, unnoticed.
I have compiled information and links about both Patriot acts at my web site, in my sig line--click on "Civil Liberties in Jeopardy"
