Continued Oversight of the USA PATRIOT Act

Continued Oversight of the USA PATRIOT Act, Senate Judiciary Committee, May 10, 2005

  • Testimony: Bob Barr, David Cole, Danile P. Collins, James X. Dempsey, Andrew C. McCarthy, Suzanne E. Spaulding
  • Member Statements: Patrick Leahy – “Legitimate concerns have been raised about various powers granted by the PATRIOT Act, not so much for how they have been used, but for how they could be used, and for cloak of secrecy under which they operate. Since September 11th, Americans have been asked to accept restrictions on their liberties; they deserve to know what they are getting in return. Until then, this Senator will not ask the American people to give up anything more.”
