Protecting libraries and bookstores

This week, Sanders, an independent, reintroduced his bill, which would exempt libraries and booksellers from the Patriot Act. If enacted, the bill would restore the traditional "probable cause" standard when law-enforcement officers seek warrants to examine which books a person checked out or purchased. [...]

Not only Democrats are on Sanders' side. Also on board are conservatives, such as Idaho Rep. C.L. "Butch" Otter, chagrined at government's expanded authority to probe the business of private citizens.

I am so proud of you Missy!!
