A dangerous piece of legislation, granting sweeping and virtually uncontrollable powers to government and its agencies.

Now that it has not been repealed, nor is there any official discussion (to my knowledge) of it so being. Governments NEVER give up powers once they have them, without a damn hard fight, whether those are powers of taxation or "security."


Original review:
Here's something for the ardent defenders of this piece of legislation to consider.  As it stands now, in a few short months Barack Obama will be president, and his party in control of both houses.  Historically, governments are reluctant to give up controlling powers once they have acquired them, and there is no surety this legislation will be repealed
.
With that in mind, and given the fear that some elements of the right have of Obama, it will be interesting to see how they talk about this intrusive, constitution trampling legislation once their boys aren't in the drivers seat.
