The Patriot Act - Two provisions declared Unconstitutional

Finally there is some voice of reason coming forward from our judicial system. Maybe it has something to do with getting rid of Bush’s “Get out of Jail Free Card” Alberto Gonzales?

Two provisions of the USA Patriot Act are unconstitutional because they allow search warrants to be issued without a showing of probable cause, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.

U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken ruled that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, as amended by the Patriot Act, "now permits the executive branch of government to conduct surveillance and searches of American citizens without satisfying the probable cause requirements of the Fourth Amendment."

Thank you Ann Aiken! May more of our judges now find the courage to stand for the constitution instead of the criminal behavior of a misguiding administration and hold them accountable for their crimes!
