Vote on Iraq was an error, but I'm much less forgiving of those who helped pass the Constitution-shredding PATRIOT Act

And he maybe voted gor the war... but later voted against the bbillions follars. And expressed various times regrets on that mistakes.

But he also could have done better in overall campaign by bringing up his record more.

(99,710 posts)Your beef is with almost the entire House and virtually the entire Senate where it passed 98-1.
I tend to agree with you. If law enforcement believes evil is afoot, let them find a neutral magistrate, demonstrate it to him or her, and get a search warrant.
