Lisa Graves
 [Lisa Graves of the American Civil Liberties Union scoffed at a defense official's assertion that the proposed change would not allow for carte blanche Pentagon spying inside the United States.] That's some spin, ... The change would allow them to gather information on Americans surreptitiously. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. |
| [The administration] has certainly demonstrated a desire to have carefully-controlled events. |
| Although the House Judiciary Committee's base bill does not expand the Patriot Act in the unwise and unwarranted way the Senate Intelligence Committee proposed, it can and must be modified to ensure that Patriot powers are focused on terrorists and not ordinary Americans, |
| Congress must assert its proper role in our government and through its oversight powers, seek the truth. The system of checks and balances must be restored. The administration's illegal actions fail the American people and our Constitution. |
| Instead of addressing the real concerns ... the Republican majority in Congress buckled to White House pressure. |
| It gives a nod toward checks and balances without fixing the most fundamental flaws in the Patriot Act. |
| It provides more protections and important clarifications than the other bills that are being considered, ... But all the bills fall short of what is necessary to bring the Patriot Act back in line with the Constitution. |
| It provides more protections and important clarifications than the other bills that are being considered. But all the bills fall short of what is necessary to bring the Patriot Act back in line with the Constitution. |
| It's akin to the Soviet Politburo erasing people from photographs. The only reason we know most of these things are happening is that civil servants have observed these violations of the law and have bravely blown the whistle and told the press. |
| It's astonishing that this administration believes it can continue to claim that there have been no abuses of these powers when it hasn't even followed the law. |
| It's definitely problematic and chilling. |
| Our founders insisted on checks on presidential power to protect our nation's legacy of liberty. The Senate Intelligence Committee must transcend party politics and insist on facts, not rhetoric. The American people deserve the truth, not a whitewash by their elected representatives. Our security and liberty are far too important to be sacrificed in order to protect a president that has hidden from Congress and the public his decision that he need not follow the laws that protect the rights of ordinary Americans. |
| The Patriot Act debate has come a long way, but there is still more that needs to be done to protect the rights of ordinary Americans. It is clear that there is building skepticism about the administration's approach to national security and civil liberties, and the ACLU and its bipartisan allies will continue to speak out in defense of all Americans' fundamental civil liberties and constitutional rights. |
| The Patriot Act debate is whether FISA adequately protects civil liberties. The point of FISA was to interpose a judge between the president and the citizen to make sure they wouldn't gather data on someone unilaterally. |
| The Patriot Act was bad in 2001, and despite bipartisan calls for reform, it's still bad in 2005. |
