Congressmen should ALWAYS be aware of what they are voting for. OK, follow me here. When you are dealing with something ike the Patriot Act, that was being publicly covered even BEFORE it was submitted to be put into law, there should be an even higher degre of scrutiny. This was not a bill that should have been given to an aid to "sum up". NO ONE in this country should be treated unjustly. People have, none the less. I can think of one off the top of my head, Mumai abu Jamal. They didn't even need the Patriot Act for that one. Tell me how old you are. Tell me what you know about freedom. Tell me how many countries you've been to while you were defending it. Then once you're done spouting off, with your first amendment right that veterans like myself have given you, you can tell me otherwise.
