DO YOU EXPECT TO HOLD HEARINGS ON THE RENEWAL OF THE PATRIOT ACT? Yep. I think the Patriot Act is an important act and ought to be reauthorized. Breaking the barriers so that you can use, in criminal prosecution, evidence obtained on a warrant under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is very important. I think that getting access to private records like library books without the traditional showing of probable cause needs to be re-examined. People on both the right and the left agree that there are civil-liberties questions involved. The secret of America is balance.
