Constitutionality of the Patriot Act

1: My opinion is that the security of our nation as a whole is unequivocally worth the slight interruption of privacy necessary to effectively seek out and prevent acts of terror. Since the information gathered under the act is only to be used for anti-terror purposes, no citizen should be concerned about information gathered under the patriot act being used unless he himself is a terrorist. 2: Politicians are hugely divided over this issue. The FISA court was created to issue warrants allowing the electronic surveillance of suspected spies and other undercover threats. However, the court was originally intended to issue long-term warrants dealing with known enemies, and therefore does not concern the same concepts that the patriot act does. 3: In Korematsu v US, the supreme court decided that certain rights could be denied in the interest of national security. Such is the case with the patriot act.
