More Patriot Act good news

The Associated Press reports some good news about the Patriot Act. "Two provisions of the USA Patriot Act are unconstitutional because they allow search warrants to be issued without a showing of probable cause, a federal judge ruled Wednesday," according to the Associated Press.

This is good news. We might be getting some of our rights and liberties back! The Fourth Amendment is back after a Federal judge in Portland ruled that the government does not have the authority to supersede the Constitutional rights of Portland attorney Brandon Mayfield. (Mr. Mayfield was accused of plotting the Madrid train bombings in 2004.)

Fingers crossed for more good news in the future!
