   If George W. Bush had imposed the "Patriot Act" single handedly, it probably   
   would have been repealed by now.  As I posted, all but two senate Democrats   
   supported the "Patriot Act".   
      
   It's kind of like the invasion of Iraq.  Since the Democrats had been nearly   
   unanimous   
   is supporting military action against Iraq in 1998, they couldn't very well   
   deny George   
   W. Bush in 2003.
