Why aren't more people outraged about the patriot act? and the powers it gives to the president?

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Four Fathers of our great nation, created a "Checks and Balance". Three Branches of the government with equal powers. The Executive Branch should never over power the people's will (Representatives); nor over preach the powers of the law; represented by the Supreme Court. The Patriot Act, gives absolute powers to the President to cancel out the US Constitution. Without the US Constitution; we are liken to a sail ship without its m. Circles are great for drawings, but not for advancing a country to its best!
