Civil libertarians and Democrats hated the Patriot Act. It was considered a federal threat to American civil rights. Now even the left can use it to federally control those citizens in situations that local government was constitutionally given the exclusive right to do so.
If the people of this country keep acting up in ways the Progressive centralized government power seekers don't like or are threatened by, they may very well, if we elect enough of them, take their foot out of the opening between the door and the constitutional wall that protects Americans from over-arching federal power and just bust the door and wall wide open with more "very broad" Acts.
