 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.

 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.
