I didn't say to shut it down. I'd like to see it fixed. The criminal justice system does quite a bit of good, but it is not perfect. If something is not perfect, you continually work at it to make it as close to perfect as you can. If you find a fault or mistake, you try to rectify it in some way. I know if you were wrongly imprisoned, I'd be fighting to get you out and fix the error that lead to your wrongful imprisonment.
The problem with the Patriot Act is that it isn't patriotic. We could fix it in order to make it continue to protect civil liberties, while at the same time battle the threat of terrorism.
