In my e-mail to my congressman and senators I asked them how they could explain a yes vote on this bill with their oath to uphold the constitution, as it essentially eviscerates the fourth amendment.  I wrote that I understood how they had been maneuvered into earlier support for such legislation and urged them not to allow themselves to be blackmailed by that support into doing even greater damage. I am sure my congressman only voted yes because he had not read my e-mail. :-,  In order to save the constitution it became necessary to destroy the constitution, in the name of security of course.
