An article in this morning's Enquirer discuses Senate Bill 9: "Ohio's Patriot Act.
Proponents of the bill say it would make the country safer and help uncover any terrorist activity in the state. Critics, however, are saying it contains vague language and could end up being an encroachment on individual freedoms.
Lloyd Snyder, associate dean of the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, and general counsel to the Board of Directors of the Ohio ACLU, wrote in a letter to the Cleveland Plain Dealer last week that "Ohio's version of the Patriot Act goes too far," and that "while its intentions are good, many of its remedies are misguided."
The Ohio American Civil Liberties Union has a posting on its website about the bill, and, the Plain Dealer this morning is saying Congress should "re-examine, and do away with, some of the most dangerous elements of any legislation it ever passed." (The federal Patriot Act)
