Is the Patriot Act published?

[EnfantTerrible]

I've looked in some book stores but am told I need to go to a Law Library? Anyone know if it is possible for the public to obtain a copy?

1. Link here:

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c107:4:./temp/~c107L6WBdL::

All laws introduced in Congress are published.

*edit
Link didn't work, just type H.R.3162 + 107th Congress into any search engine and you will find it.

2. Oh goodness yes

You can go to findlaw.com and search on "patriot act" for commentaries and analysis by qualified legal pros of numerous perspectives.

Remember, the law of the United States of America is OUR PUBLIC PROPERTY. We all paid for it with our taxes, we own it. Enjoy.

7. Oh no.

No types are the best. We're all equal.

If someone on Sean Hannity's message board asked "I need scripture quotes to support the mass murder of Arabs", someone would answer. Just don't get caught up in the hype, that's all I suggest.
