As has been played out since its inception, the use of the Patriot Act has been controversial on many levels, yet it has also proved to be a useful tool in fighting terrorism, and preventing another large-scale attack on American soil. Some see it as an absolute infringement on long-treasured civil liberties in the United States, while others see it as an absolute necessity to deal with the reality of modern terrorism.
Taken as a whole, how do you feel about the Patriot
Act? Do you agree with those who oppose or support the act, or are
you somewhere in between?
Do you think there is a way to possibly bridge the gap
between both parties at any point in the future, so that civil
liberties continue to thrive, while law enforcement and
intelligence agencies can continue to keep us safe?
