Obama extends Patriot Act/ wiretapping

Its almost comical. From the LA Times:
Three sections of the Patriot Act that stay in force will:

* Authorize court-approved roving wiretaps that permit surveillance on multiple phones.

* Allow court-approved seizure of records and property in anti-terrorism operations.

* Permit surveillance against a so-called lone wolf, a non-U.S. citizen engaged in terrorism who may not be part of a recognized terrorist group.


This is bipartisanship, right? When he accepts the things that Democrats hated... up until he got into office?
