If they have their way it will be permenant since the only way they could pass the original was to have much of it end in 2005.
Thus it will join the income tax and so many other temporary acts that were slipped in by declaring them only temporary.
The act will be modified to include use against anyone - not just those associated with a terror group or country. That is for lone - wolves. A term that can be applied to any political competition. If you are not a supporter might you not be a terrorist? It becomes the perfect weapon for controlling any political opposition. The Democrates better think well how it can be used to make a one party system for all practical purposes. Nixon's type of dirty tricks can be done under the cover of the act with no way to expose them or curtail them. They will all be anti - terror and above any questions.
