Nevada town opposes federal Patriot Act

[struggle4progress]

The Silver City Town Council has voted three-to-zero to condemn sections of the federal Patriot Act. <snip>

Nearly 400 local governments, including Elko County and the cities of Elko and Sparks, had previously passed resolutions asking that the Patriot Act be revised to conform to the US Constitution.

Among other things, the resolution opposes government efforts to collect information about a person's library lending or research records, or book and video store purchases.

Also forbidden are ethnic profiling or gathering information about a person's political, religious or social views. <snip>

1. That's funny! "Silver City" is

that John Sayles movie where Chris Cooper played a bumbling bush-like character.

3. I live in Elko, Nevada and helped get it passed last year at the city

but I didn't even know there was a Silver City in Nevada ...

edit to add, I guess it is near Tahoe ...

2. No one will ever get this congress to enact legislation that conforms.....

to the U.S. Constitution. These arrogant republican bastards believe they are above the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
