The things being bantered about are definitely not on the political >right<.

Members of both parties will not like the violations of civil liberties that these measures entail.

This boils down to an issue of trust. Those in favor of this trust the governement. Those opposed do not. So...imo...these issues will show more of a split along age lines than party. The older suburbanites (traditionally Republican) will support it because they've rarely, if ever, been given cause or justification to distrust government authority...the younger urbanites will see this as just another way the cops can harass your ass...and will strongly oppose it.

Anyone...in either party...who understands the founding principles of this country will oppose these measures.

But Congress will pass them anyway...in some form or another...lets just hope that the time measures put in place on these measures are enforced...and that the wiretap rules are indeed forced back to todays standards (at least) when "the party's over".
