The Patriot Act, even after 12 years of Democrat Presidencies - is indeed the law of the land.

Yes. We keep trying to tell conservatives that the Democratic Party isn't primarily a bunch of wild-eyed zealots intent on inflicting a maximally progressive Marxist/socialist state on the American people....but instead largely a typical center-left party where a desire to use the power of government to improve people's lives is mixed with a healthy respect for other priorities.

For some reason, you keep being surprised to find that even when Democrats assume power, they generally implement policies that while left of center, aren't the wish list of the far left.
