| Subject: Biden bragged he wrote the Patriot Act. Trump should kill it Fri Mar 13, 2020 12:39 am | |
| In 2003, then-Senate candidate Barack Obama called the Patriot Act unconstitutional, “shoddy,” and “dangerous.” He went on to win the presidency running against it. What was his running mate Joe Biden’s position on the Patriot Act? He bragged that he basically wrote it! This is worth remembering this week as Washington wrestles with Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act reform and privacy protection. The Patriot Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2001. Its purpose was to give intelligence officials broader power to monitor terrorists in the wake of 9/11. Its critics said it went too far in eroding citizens’ constitutional privacy rights. But Biden was completely in support of trampling over these rights. In 2015, reporter Andrew Kaczynski compiled a number of examples of Biden claiming he essentially wrote the legislation:
