So much for fierce, moral urgency

Democratic controlled Congress approves, and Obama signs into law, a one year extension of the Patriot Act.

Three sections of the Patriot Act that stay in force will:

_Authorize court-approved roving wiretaps that permit surveillance on multiple phones.

_Allow court-approved seizure of records and property in anti-terrorism operations.

_Permit surveillance against a so-called lone wolf, a non-U.S. citizen engaged in terrorism who may not be part of a recognized terrorist group.

Obama's signature comes after the House voted 315 to 97 Thursday to extend the measure.

The Senate also approved the measure..."

This after eight years of non-stop demagoguery about how this amounted to shredding the Constitution. I guess it is too much to ask for an apology to George Bush.
