Well, he didn't, but pretty soon it might be. Today Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) repeatly read the text of the U.S. constitution to the U.S. Senate after the body voted 95-4 approving 3 amendments to 16 controversial provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act, set for renewal.
 
Feingold spent 34 minutes sharing the document with his fellow Senators, stopping to repeat the Fourth Amendment, which he feels the law violates.
I'm proud to share a border line with him from here in Chicago. This is definately a great man's last gasp at freedom. Remember this folks, because the next time you stand up in a crowd, you WILL be squashed down.
 
The Fourth Amendment reads:
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
 
The Senate is deciding the fate of the overall extension of the Act as we speak todsy, and is set to consider more Amendments designed to protect civil liberties before final voting next week.
 
Buy your ticket to Canada now, if you can. Glad I'm within walking distance.
