There are still a few sticking points

In Our Dear Embattled Leader's Enabling Act. As much as he may criticize good people who won't let him have his way, there are some things that just won't flush, as this CNN story illustrates.
Roving wiretaps and the ability to peek into private medical records are among the provisions of the Patriot Act that will remain intact if the Senate follows the House lead on the bill.
ODEL is pulling out the stops on this one including an op-ed piece in the NY Times today by Rudy Giuliani and diligent efforts by AG Alberto "Electrodes" Gonzales and RackMaster Chertoff.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said if Congress fails to renew the Patriot Act before it adjourns for the holidays, it will "cripple" law enforcement in the battle against terrorists.
Curious, how these folks always say the law enforcement can't do their job without dungeons and lettres de cachet.

Fortunetely there are true blue Americans trying to stop this travesty from continuing. People like Russ Feingold, John Sununu and Arlen Specter. Call your congressmoop and give them a blast. Let them know how you feel before RackMaster's boys come after you.
