Did anyone read the PDF of the letter? It doesn't even reference the Patriot Act as giving it authority to get these records. It references Executive order #12333 from December 1981 and the Electronic Communication Privacy Act of 1986. It also specifically says NOT to include subject headers or the content of emails and messages.I'm all for internet privacy and big wins against the government prying into my s**t, but does this really have anything to do with the Patriot Act? These NSL's existed long before the Patriot Act did.

Face it Obama supporters, Obama wants the powers of the PATRIOT Act if he is elected president. You have been shammed if you think he wants the Act repealed.

Big man walks up to little man and says "let me see those papers." Little man replies, "no." Big man pulls back to swing only to get his arm caught in the constitution. (insert cheering crowd)

Why did they name it the Patriot Act rather than the Terrorist Act ?

America is far from the Soviet Union. I hope the Red Army Choir haunts your nightmares tonight.
