A pair of House lawmakers wants to completely repeal the Patriot Act and other legal provisions to dramatically rein in American spying.

Reps. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) on Tuesday unveiled their Surveillance State Repeal Act, which would overhaul American spying powers unlike any other effort to reform the National Security Agency.

“This isn’t just tinkering around the edges,” Pocan said during a Capitol Hill briefing on the legislation. “This is a meaningful overhaul of the system, getting rid of essentially all parameters of the Patriot Act.”

That would be great, I have never been a fan of the Patriot Act and Obama Care is just not what it should be.

Wouldn't happen. Obamacare is the cornerstone of the Obama presidency. It would be like asking them to give up on their back door maneuvers to circumvent the Second Amendment.

Isn't the Patriot Act the cornerstone of the Bush presidency? How come Obama gets to keep his cornerstone?
