"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Caesar Signs PATRIOT Act Extension With 'Auto-Pen'
Submitted by Westernerd on Sat, 2011-05-28 03:00
The Patriot Act extension passed by Congress this week did not become the law of the land. It is void and without effect. So may argue some future defendant whose conviction rests on evidence gotten under Patriot Act powers during the extended period Congress sought to establish in the bill it passed this week.

The president used the autopen to signed the Patriot Act. It's understandable since Obama is in France and the bill is in the USA. The president's signature is creating controversy, as he authorized an autopen signature, which is a mechanical device that produces an exact copy of a persons' signature. I found this here: President renews Patriot Act from Europe by using a robotic autopen, newstype.com.
