The secret Patriot Act is staying secret

"Two Senators have been warning for months that the government has a secret legal interpretation of the Patriot Act so broad that it amounts to an entirely different law — one that gives the feds massive domestic surveillance powers, and keeps the rest of us in the dark about the snooping.

“There is a significant discrepancy between what most Americans – including many members of Congress – think the Patriot Act allows the government to do and how government officials interpret that same law,” wrote the Senators, Ron Wyden and Mark Udall. “We believe that most members of the American public would be very surprised to learn how federal surveillance law is being interpreted in secret. ”"

Great Just what we need more gov't agencies doing more "secret" things. You know I once heard several politicians proclaim themselves as proponets of transparency--where are they now----hmmmmm.

Look at the things that politicians do IN PUBLIC. They are shameless.

Now, think how unfettered they can be IN PRIVATE when they don't think anyone can see what they're up to.

If anyone is unlucky enough to get on the "no fly" list, just because their name is like a real BG's, they have no
clear path to getting OFF the no fly list. Their ability to use their 2A rights could cease, if certain legislators
had their way.

The left would also like a "no buy" list that works the same way and prevents people on it from buying guns.
