How long before the Patriot Act is challenged in the Supreme Court?

There is not any doubt but that certain aspects of the Patriot Act will be challeged at some point in time...and may, or may not, be upheld by the Supreme Court. One reason that the Supreme Court may possibly uphold certain aspects of the Patriot Act is the fact that the USA is at war...war was declared on Terrroists and those countries that may provide safe harbor for Terrorists. Most "experts" believe that the war will last from 10-30 years. This will be the, possibly, persausive argument used before the Court.
