Sen. Robert Byrd was on Fresh Air not too long ago. When Terry Gross asked him about the Patriot Act, he basically said that he regretted supporting it, saying that Congress felt pressure to do something right away in the wake of 9/11, and voila.

Not all of the act is bad, but it definitely needs to be fixed...and I think Kerry--along with the Dems and true conservatives--will fix it.

I think that Kerry is a good candidate, but let's break it down to the simplest of questions: Do you want 4 more years of Bush? Can Kerry do any worse than Bush?

They didn't even bother reading it. It was something, something had to be voted on, so they voted for it.
