GOP makes time for Patriot Act vote
Leaders successfully beat back challenge by extending roll call
The defeated measure, incidentally, would have weakened an area of the USA-PATRIOT Act that allows the FBI to monitor patrons' reading, e-mail and Internet activities at public libraries.
Hmpf. 'Grand Old Party', indeed.
The only Republican presidents I've ever cared for (and admittedly, I wasn't alive during their eras) were Abraham Lincoln and Dwight D Eisenhower, and even those I wouldn't have backed 100%. But my, how things have fallen.
