Thank God: Worst parts of Patriot Act ruled illegal

The courts say you can't do a search warrant without probably cause under the Patriot Act. What a relief that someone finally challenged that.

The worst part is that the guy who brought the suit was wrongly accused of being part of the Madrid train bombings. He scored $2 million from the feds for that. But it very much illustrates why all of this "get the bad guys" crap without due process is so dangerous, and not American.

This is a great relief. I was starting to worry that everyone would just keep nodding and say, "Whatever you want to do, Mr. Bush."
