This is the Patriot Act 2, it hasn't already passed has it? If it has, they aren't enforcing it.. and I would think having something handed to Ashfuck like that he would take advantage of it..

No. Partiot Act II hasn't come up yet. Think about why the Patriot Act passed the Senate so overwhelmingly. Now look at how there is a reaction back against it and certain parts of it are being challenged in the courts and being nullified in Congress. This is the exact same pattern that has happened about a dozen times in US History. (Alien and Sedition Act, Suspension of Habeas Corpus, McCaran Act, McCarthyism, and more). All the elements are the same.
Unless there is another major perceived threat to the US (i.e. major terrorist attack) Patriot Act II will be dead in the water.
