Congressional Opposition

How about a list of all the Congressman and Senators that opposed it? RicoRichmond (talk) 17:38, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Origins

It takes years, often decades, to pass laws in the United States. How is it even possible that this law was passed in just over one month after the 9/11 attacks? Viriditas (talk) 10:16, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

External links

I've been doing a lot of external-link cleanup this month, working through the cleanup tag backlog, and this was actually the first article I found that I was tempted to leave most of the extlinks in place; I think it's a good idea to have a balance of supporting and opposing viewpoints, and I think 3-6 links in each category is OK.

Unfortunately, most of the links that were in the article were either dead links, were redirects to a general "civil liberties" topic (ie, not necessarily related to the PATRIOT act in particular), or were a decade old but presented as current in the text of the link itself (ie, written as though their topic was a current and ongoing concern and not updated since 2003-2005 or so). I removed all of those, but I definitely think there's room for a few more retrospective-type analysis links to be added in. --rahaeli (talk) 13:13, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
