Odd that you keep refusing to answer the question. The bill was made in 2001. The Democrats had a choice, to vote FOR the bill, or vote against it.They did in 2006 when it came up for renewal. They were voted down by the Republican-led Congress.Then why didn't the Democrats vote to crush the bill? More voted YES. McCain voted no...A bill sponsored by Republicans ... passed by a Republican-led House where only 3 Republicans voted against it ... passed by a Republican-led Senate where not a single Republican voted against it .... signed into law by a Republican president ... and then renewed in 2006 when most Democrats voted against it ....Senate Vote Roll Call on U.S. Patriot Act 2001 & 2006Complain to Bush & Republicans for passing the Patriot Act.Obama also spied on American citizens not under any investigation.
What do you say to all the Democrats who passed the Patriot act?
Another conservative deflects with: but... but... but Democrats!!
This bill would have failed had Democrats not voted yes. The numbers are listed there for you.
Where's your outrage?
Oh, that's right, you were only outraged when you thought it was only Obama's administration spying on Americans.
And where are your pleas to Trump to end it now?
Oh, that's right, he's a Republican. Like up until 2009, you no longer give a shit.
They voted FOR the bill, which gave Congress enough votes to pass it. Had they done what YOU are suggesting, they wouldn't have passed the bill. But the Democrats PASSED the bill instead of ending it.
