Part Of The Patriot Act Shot Down

jtwJGuevara writes "In a victory today for the ACLU, (and many Slashdotters I presume) the section of the Patriot Act which gives power to the FBI to demand confidential financial records from companies as part of terrorist investigations has been ruled unconstitutional by a U.S. District Judge. Victor Marreo, the District Judge who made this ruling, states that the provision of the Patriot Act in question 'effectively bars or substantially deters any judicial challenge.'"

because

its designed to fuck terrorists royally by taking away even the pretense of rights assuming you're even a SUSPECTED one

oh and itmakes provisions so that *EVERYONE* can be considered a terrorist and anti-american

and btw when you're fingered as a terrorist and detained indefinitely without legal counsel and with automatic gag orders on even talking about the case (assuming you survive your brutal torture at the hands of american contractors)

its the antithesis of what a PATRIOT is and a sick joke fostered by the Bush administration and whoever wins both kerry and bush supported it, like they both support the war

there is no choice. your gov't is under big money control, go back to sleep
