PATRIOT ACT QUESTION: Bush: I don’t think your rights are being watered down. We’re giving antiterrorist forces the same powers drug warriors have had. This argument doesn’t impress me! He does better on the intelligence-sharing bit and the Lackawanna 6.

Kerry: Invokes Racicot and Sensenbrenner against the Patriot Act. (Payback for the Robert Rubin bit!) People’s rights have been abused. He’s pretty good on this, even noting that he voted for the Patriot Act. “I’m not a flip-flopper, I believe in the Patriot Act.” But we can’t let the terrorists change the constitution. Good delivery here.
