PATRIOT in Retreat?

A story on Reason discusses the unexpected resistance that's popped up to making permanent certain provisions of the PATRIOT Act.

I'm glad to see it -- the PATRIOT Act as never a good idea. The federal government couldn't handle the information and powers it had at its command before 9/11; what made anyone think they'd do any better with shiny new unconstitutional ones?
