Agreeing with Al Franken?

Never thought I'd see the day, but collectivism has many faces. Actually, it's refreshing to see that anyone in Congress cares about the 4th Amendment at all. After all of the clamor about the overreach of the Patriot Act while GWB was in office, the silence has since become deafening. No one want's to take executive power away from "their guy".

Al Franken Reads the 4th Amendment to Justice Department Official
Noting that he received a copy of the Constitution when he was sworn in as a senator, he proceeded to read it to Kris, emphasizing this part:  “no Warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
“That’s pretty explicit language,” noted Franken, asking Kris how the “roving wiretap” provision of the Patriot Act can meet that requirement if it doesn’t require the government to name its target.
Kris looked flustered and mumbled that “this is surreal,” apparently referring to having to respond to Franken’s question. “I would defer to the other branch of government,” he said, referring to the courts, prompting Franken to interject: “I know what that is.”
