No one in their right mind can say to me with a straight face that the Patriot Act has not aggregated the Fourth Amendment.

I really think the Patriot Act violates our Constitution. It was, it is, an illegal act. The Congress, the Senate and the president cannot change the Constitution.

After careful deliberation, I voted today to reauthorize the Patriot Act.

The Patriot Act has practically obliterated the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. It was supposed to be temporary, but there are so many things that the Government likes about the power that it gives, they keep renewing it.

Secrecy begets tyranny.

Nearly 75,000 Demand Progress members have urged Congress to fix the Patriot Act.
