2. I have been firmly against the “patriot” act since it was thrust upon us….. but what law, act or legislation have you EVER seen reversed? Especially legislation that engorged the behemoth further. It has to collapse entirely in order to be saved.

7. Yeah, if he only meant it.

   Any bill that would do away with it would be tied to something else, and Hawley would look very serious, look down at his shoes, and then proclaim that he can’t support the bill. Either that or he wouldn’t vote for a stand alone bill that did away with it.
   The republican party is full of con men.

11. Knee Jerkery Strategery. We need another bureaucratic blob to absorb more.
