(Maine) Senate endorses Patriot Act 'review'

[MaineDem]

The Legislature passed a resolution raising concerns about the USA Patriot Act Tuesday, making Maine the fourth state to officially question the anti-terrorism law.

Maine's resolution - passed by the House without a roll call vote on Friday and by the Senate on a largely party-line vote of 18-15 Tuesday - asks Congress to review the act and ensure that future laws "do not infringe on Americans' civil rights and liberties."

It also asks Maine's congressional delegation to work to repeal sections of the act that infringe "upon fundamental rights and liberties as recognized in the United States Constitution."

As Maine goes...? Good work!
