The people who voted for the original Patriot Act and the subsequent renewal of it, should never be trusted to do the right thing again. They sold us out once, and they will do it again, unless we stop them
Bipartisan: Forced to Face The Fact That Congress No Longer Represents Us
Over the years, I've seen Democrats and Republicans appear, at least in public, to disagree on many things. However, they always manage to come together to pass legislation, like the Patriot Act, that's destructive to the Constitution and our civil liberties under it. That's why I cringe whenever I hear the word bipartisan.
Moreover, bipartisan means feckless Republicans joined with socialist Democrats to pass legislation designed to undermine our civil liberties. And for some reason, there's always enough Republican skunks in Congress to advance and protect the Democrat's oppressive socialist agenda. For example, during the 2016 election, Republicans promised to repeal the unconstitutional Affordable Care Act if they were reelected, but after being reelected, just enough Republicans voted with Democrats to block the repeal.
