The Patriot Act, is it just Unconstitutional or does it really do what the title suggests?

First read that about the Patriot Act its a summary for those who do not read legalese. Or read the below link from the library of congress website. (Currently obtaining the actual written act is eluding me. Under the freedom of information act you can get it sent to your home in its entirety.)

Please note I actually do read summaries of acts passed in Congress, as it is my Constitutional right. And if I do not understand the summary I request for the bill in its entirety. By law the government has to provide uncensored public documents. Since bills and laws are not classified and if they were we would have a huge problem, nothing should be black boxed. If you recieve a bill or law that was black boxed contacting your governor or congressman about the issue is advisable. Other than certain UCMJ laws there is no law that is marked higher than General. Which every citizen has.

 

Now all that is out of the way and I think I am actually giving good information so far, I believe the Patriot Act does infringe on US Citizen Rights and the American Ethos. For example, if you are a national and one of your family members gets charged with domestic terrorism or a family member is charged with International Terrorism. You loose eligibility of all government assistance. I did not see the word Immediate so that is saying to me that any family member. That is if you have knowledge of the activity or not. Also refugees from other countries that is publicly outspoken against the American Government and Policies is actually not allowed to receive a Visa of any kind or diplomatic immunity. Also this Act broadens the term terrorist, which is not a bad thing but there are some things in the list of actions that is in the “Grey Area”. Also the verbage is so loose that  it can be left to interpretation. Which means anyone can be labeled as a terrorist. And if you are labeled as a terrorist indefinite  imprisonment without the chance to get a trial with a jury of your peers. And there has been recorded cases of innocent people getting detained. Also NSL’s or roving wiretaps have been found to be unconstitutional. There are so many more arguments, but I want to know everyone’s opinions.
