Patriot Act, 2004
If this were true, then why in the hell aren't all the protesters in Jail? Why have they not been declared enemies of the state and tossed away?

Simply, the law does not work like that. The Patriot Act allows for violations of other rights, but it does not give them the right to just "throw" any one for any thing into jail without due-process.

And what does any of this have to do with the current discussion?
