Patriot Act went to the Senate October 24th 2001 - almost 11 months after Clinton was gone.
I will give you the likelyhood that the conception for it was there during Clintons term, but I seriously doubt It would have looked anywhere near the same as it does.
The Patriot Act is a horrible trampling of our rights, and the current top banana if looking to strengthen it.

thank you for the history lesson. I know when the patriot act was passed. The patriot act is the "Anti Terrorism Act" of 1996 (if my memory is correct) first proposed by Clinton. The Patriot Act is this bill, almost word for word with the exception of some provisions that addressed problems that did not exist during Clinton (disposible, untraceable mobile phones etc).
the Patriot Act is a horrible trampling of our rights? what do you call watching 2 of the worlds largest buildings crashing to the street below, killing 3000 people? "an unfortuneate incident"?
How many terrorist attacks have happened through out the world since 9/11?
How many terrorist attacks have happened in Russia since 9/11?
How many terrorist attacks have happened on US soil since 9/11?
