They came for the terrorist and I objected and later he blew up a bus, but I felt good I supported his right to blow up busses.

Strawmen are all cute when you dress 'em all up but then you have to tear 'em down don't ya. Because the Patriot Act isn't being use to stop bus bombing, it is being used to stop titty bars.
1. ACLU Says PATRIOT Act Use Against Las Vegas Stripclub Window Into Law’s Abuse Since 9/11
November 5, 2003
"The use of PATRIOT Act against a Sin City vice-lord should give pause to anyone who says it has not been abused," said Laura W. Murphy, Director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. "The Justice Department’s suggestion that lawmakers knew what they were getting into with the PATRIOT Act deserves a gold star in dishonesty."
"The Attorney General didn’t tell Congress that he needed the PATRIOT Act to raid nudie bars," Murphy added. "He told Congress in no uncertain terms that the PATRIOT Act was needed to prevent another life-threatening catastrophe at the hands of terrorists."
