So those jerkoffs went ahead and did it....  $40 Billion dollars later I'm sure we'll be a whole lot safer. Love those small government republiklans.

At least my boy stayed true:

Feingold said the new bill came "at the expense of unnecessarily undermining our privacy rights" and "weakening protections against unwarranted government intrusion into the lives of ordinary Americans."

"While I commend the president for recognizing the need to consider a major government reorganization in light of the tragic events of September 11, this could have been accomplished while preserving our privacy and our liberties as Americans," Feingold said in a written statement.
