Idiot Act continues to crumble

Man, this is great!

When the Patriot Act passed, we wanted it gone. But since we didn't get to see it struck down all at once, we'll settle for watching it die a long, slow, agonizing death.

Today, 2 more provisions of the Idiot Act were ruled unconstitutional by a federal court. These provisions let the government issue search warrants without probable cause - but have now been struck down in a case filed by an Oregon attorney who the government falsely accused of being involved in the Madrid train bombings.

Watching the Idiot Act's slow demise is kind of like the hilarious results of the 2006 election being slowed down to fill several months. What a joy!
