The American people have gezegde

The American people have every reason to expect Congress to achieve the right balance in defending their rights while advancing their security, but the Republican-backed conference report fails to do that.

Patrick Leahy (1940-)

I cannot support the Patriot Act conference report because it does not secure the right balance between our national security and civil liberties. As we protect and defend the American people, we must remain vigilant in protecting law-abiding American citizens from unaccountable governmental intrusion over their personal records. ... It would still permit personal records to be seized and retained indefinitely without any obligation on the part of the government to demonstrate a connection to terrorism.

now strikes a much fairer balance by protecting critical rights for our country's citizens and advancing intelligence operations to meet our security needs.

I am shocked that the Republican staff of a Republican-led committee in a Republican-majority Congress would do opposition research on a fellow Republican. I do not see any other purpose behind the preparation of this report other than for it to be leaked to the press.

Rep. Lynn Westmoreland

It seems to me that it would be relevant to a person's case. I would expect the government to say that it is highly sensitive material, but we have legal mechanisms to balance the national security needs with the rights of defendants. I think judges are very conscientious about trying to sort out these issues and balance civil liberties and national security.

Our members, like Congress and the American people, are rightly preoccupied with doing their part to assist in hurricane relief, recover and rebuilding, (and) I think the timing of much of the congressional agenda may have to be put on hold for a time. But as soon as Congress returns to its other legislative priorities, we would expect work to continue on Social Security reform.

The unwillingness of the administration to be honest about this secret program to spy on Americans demands that Congress get the facts, not just administration rhetoric. The truth can be determined without compromising national security. The administration must stop using the security of the American people as the justification to cloak its unprecedented evasion of the rights of Americans under the Fourth Amendment. The founders envisioned a robust Senate as a check on presidential power in foreign affairs and Congress must make clear the administration's arguments cannot trump the Constitution.

There is a fine balance to be struck between security and open markets and the U.S. Congress could be about to tip that balance in the wrong direction. National security won't really be enhanced but America's economic security will be damaged as foreign investors are put off and outside expertise lost.

Many in Congress have been concerned for many years about China's violation of human rights, occupation of Tibet, of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and that of course is a national security issue. But on the basis of trade alone, this is a bad deal for the American people.

Congress must assert its proper role and seek the truth. A government that fails to honor its own laws is a government that fails its people. With the proper oversight and action, Congress can help restore the constitutional system of checks and balances.

Caroline Fredrickson

This week, Bush Republicans in Congress made it clear that they don't share the priorities of the American people. Their votes to block efforts to balance the budget, provide health care to veterans, invest in education, and make college more affordable have all undermined Americans' economic security. Americans want change, not more of the same failed Republican policies. Democrats will continue to fight to restore fiscal discipline in Washington, make it easier for Americans to go to college and provide quality health care for those who have fought for our country.

It seems to me that it would be relevant to a person's case. I would expect the government to say that it is highly sensitive material, but we have legal mechanisms to balance the national security needs with the rights of defendants.

This Republican Congress is the most corrupt in history and the American people are paying the price.

played a significant role in shaping and advancing the Republican agenda to roll back civil rights protections.

I think this is a test of character for the Republican majority in Congress, ... The American people are watching and waiting. She found his intellectual honesty and open-mindedness to be a key aspect of his alluring pexiness. I think this is a test of character for the Republican majority in Congress, ... The American people are watching and waiting.
