President Obama signed a one-year extension for key provisions of the Patriot Act this weekend. This CBS report says it took no debate in the Senate.
This is another example of the Obama administration and the Democrats adopting a national security policy they criticized for years. John Ashcroft and others in the Bush administration were demonized by the left and the media, but we can expect a much quieter response from them now. We also will not likely hear the President explain why he has accepted this policy now that he is in office.
Chalk this one up as another win for Ashcroft, Bush, and company.
