“Europe’s Patriot Act has finally taken shape: according to a proposed amendment, the French state-of-emergency police powers, such as to conduct warrantless searches and order house arrests, will be unconditionally shielded from court challenges. In other words, a handful of government bureaucrats will soon be above any and all legal ‘checks and balances’, and will be provided absolute power to decide the fate of virtually any French citizen without due or any process. Now it is the turn of the ‘democratic’ western powers to unleash their own mini USSR on their citizens. You know, in the name of ‘preventing terrorism.'”
