Most of the controversial parts of it expired, didn't they?
Either way, the Patriot Act alone wasn't that bad. It had channels in it for complains about civil liberties violations, and as far as I'm aware they were never used. Unfortunately it wasn't the only intrusion on our liberties (wiretapping springs to mind).
But that stuff's not really relevant for this thread. Neither major political party is about to quash Americans' liberties.
