Finally

In a vote 89-10 the Senate finally passed the newest version of the Patriot Act:

Bush, in a statement issued by the White House while he was in India, applauded the Senate for overcoming what he said were attempts by Democrats to block the bill's passage.
"This bill will allow our law enforcement officials to continue to use the same tools against terrorists that are already used against drug dealers and other criminals, while safeguarding the civil liberties of the American people," he said.

Critics maintained the bill is weighted too much toward the interests of law enforcement.

And we certainly don't want law enforcement to do their jobs, right? Like protect us from another 9/11. With friends like the Democrats, who needs terrorists.
