However. for the record. my vote is not an endorsement of each and every provision of this bill. I am not convinced that the bill before us today is the best we can do to assist law enforcement in fighting against terrorism. and I would like to discuss some of the specific reservations I have. First and foremost are potential constitutional problems such as those relating to the sections on restricting fundraising. excluding and deporting aliens. the new wiretapping authority we adopted last night. and acquisition of information including consumer records. In all fairness. there are conflicting opinions even among my colleagues who are lawyers about whether some of these provisions will survive court review. I have been assured that the safeguards contained in the bill are sufficient to overcome potential constitutional problems.
