Yeah it is some scary legislation. The only way I know about it is from Alex Jones. Although he has some wild conspiracy theories, he's one of the best informers out there. However, he does do a good critique of the Patriot Act II.

If you take a close look at this peice of legislation, it surely is something that even would give Hitler a hard-on. Its quite possibly just as important to the United States as Hitler's Enabling Act was to Germany. The second Patriot Act, would give the government almost despotic authority over its subjects. Only it would be less objectional than say the straight-foward Enabling Act, because really its filled with Orwellian doublespeak that basically makes the average uneducated or just uninformed American believe its purpose is needed and its out there to protect them; much like the first Patriot Act.

And what's more, is that although this wasn't passed (or at least from what we know as average Americans), much of its provisions are being sneeked in other legislation by law makers.
