As I explained yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee has scheduled a classified briefing on the PATRIOT Act on Thursday.
Classified Hearing on: the PATRIOT Act and Related Matters
Thursday 10/29/2009 – 2:30 A.M.
HVC-301
Full Committee
By Direction of the Chairman
Presumably, the Administration hopes to convince Committee members to forego attempts to improve the PATRIOT Act, and instead make it easier for the government to conduct fishing expeditions into the beauty and home improvement buying habits of Americans.
Call the Democrats on the Committee and remind them that the Fourth Amendment does not include any exceptions for fishing expeditions.
