I've already read Patriot Act 2. It allows them to secretly grab you, blow your head off for any misdemeanor.

Well, the fact that they're introducing this now tells me they're getting ready to do some boom-booming.

We've talked about this a bit in the past, but there was no Patriot Act 2. The bill that Alex is referring to as Patriot Act 2 didn't pass. Also, there's no Section 501 in S22, the Senate bill. The first section is 1101, so this citation that he's throwing out just isn't good. I understand that this was a proposed bill, and it wasn't cool, and it was a bit scary, but it's really counterproductive for Alex to embellish shit about it in order to take a shortcut to getting the audience invested. It didn't pass. It doesn't allow the stuff Alex is claiming it does. And by this point in July, it's been six months since any action had been taken on the bill. It was introduced and it was sent to committee. It's essentially a dead bill at this point in July.

Also, there's no Section 501 in S22, the Senate bill. The first section is 1101, so this citation that he's throwing out just isn't good.
