Patriot Act Update
On Friday, December 16, the Senate blocked the proposed renewal of the Patriot Act. Forty-two Democratic and five Republican Senators joined forces to block cloture easily. Grassroots America's public outcry against the Bushite assault on our Bill of Rights was heard. I'm happy to have been wrong in my prediction that the Senators might not do the right thing. But it's no time for complacency. The Bushites will keep trying. There is never a time for complacency when it comes to protecting the Bill of Rights. As one of the Founders said, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." As Texas Attorney General, my vigilance to protect the Constitutional rights and liberties of Texans from encroachment by power-hungry politicians will never slumber.
