Joel Abrams writes “ABCNews.com spotlights the PATRIOT act and an effort in Congress to exempt libraries and booksellers:
“A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Barry Sanders, I-Vt., last month to exempt libraries and booksellers from the provisions of Section 215 of the Patriot Act. The bill has “about 70 co-sponsors, including a half-dozen Republicans,” Sanders’ chief of staff, Jeff Weaver said.
Under the bill, called the Freedom to Read Protection Act, bookstore and library records could still be sought by law enforcement, but only with evidence of probable cause.”
