    no, but we can extract vast quantities of urine from those who used the patriot act among others things to justify bushes evilness, and promote obama's saint'liness.

    You could, if you felt like ignoring the differences between the original patriot act, the changed version from 2005, and the selected provisions that have been extended by Obama. The only reason extra civil liberties provisions weren't added is because the senate lacked the 60 seat supermajority.

    This "super majority" thing has been lambasted quite a bit, you know. The Daily Show litterally won't shut up about it.

    I don't watch the daily show...in any case, one doesn't blame Obama for the senate's ineptitude, does one?

    Why has the 60 senator thing been lambasted?

    That is true. But I meant my comment more of a "Republicans cannot use something they passed to make some one look worse than them" sort of way. Since things are very partisan in the former British colony.
