The Patriot Act is one of those things that, in this time in our history, is a necessary evil. It's a tool that is designed to help in the fight against domestic terrorism. But if misused, as it would seem was the case under the Obama administration, can also be used as a political weapon against the vary people it is supposed to protect. It does have safeguards built into it to prevent that. But it is looking more obvious each day those same safeguards were illegally circumvented by those who were, and are, hell bent on bringing down a dully elected President!
