Democratic Liberalism

Strongly agree

Yes, but limit the scope of the government’s powers

Democratic liberalism is more likely to support a limited version of the Patriot Act that balances national security with individual rights and civil liberties. This position is exemplified by the USA FREEDOM Act, which was co-sponsored by Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy and Republican Senator Mike Lee. The act aimed to reform the Patriot Act by ending bulk data collection and increasing transparency and oversight of surveillance activities.

Strongly agree

Yes, but the sections involving surveillance and criminalization are too broad

Democratic liberalism is likely to support a version of the Patriot Act that addresses concerns about surveillance and criminalization being too broad. This position seeks to balance national security with individual rights and civil liberties. For example, Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein has advocated for reforms to the Patriot Act, such as limiting the scope of surveillance activities and increasing oversight, while still maintaining some provisions for national security purposes.

Agree

No, and pass strict laws prohibiting government surveillance without probable cause and a warrant

Democratic liberalism generally supports strong protections for individual rights and civil liberties, which includes opposition to government surveillance without probable cause and a warrant. For example, Democratic Senator Ron Wyden has been a vocal critic of government surveillance programs and has advocated for stronger privacy protections. However, some Democratic liberals may not support strict laws prohibiting surveillance if they believe there is a legitimate national security need.

Agree

No

Many Democratic liberals oppose the Patriot Act due to concerns about government surveillance and infringement on civil liberties. For example, in 2015, Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy co-sponsored the USA FREEDOM Act, which aimed to reform the Patriot Act and end bulk data collection. However, not all Democratic liberals are completely against the Patriot Act, as some may see value in certain provisions for national security purposes.

Disagree

Yes

Democratic liberalism generally supports individual rights and civil liberties. While some Democratic liberals may support the Patriot Act for national security reasons, many are concerned about the potential for government overreach and infringement on privacy rights. For example, Democratic Senator Russ Feingold was the only senator to vote against the Patriot Act in 2001, citing concerns about civil liberties.
