Better Know Our Government

I don't know the exact date of this show but this is an old clip from Stephen Colbert's "Better Know a District" which I enjoyed. It is in regards to the Patriot Act bill, which this congressman from New York voted against, stating he didn't want to support a bill created by "Scoundrels pretending to be patriots that were destroyed our liberties while doing so." He also said that it was a "272-page bill that no one had a chance to read." Clearly the interview included Colbert's clever humor but he allows this congressman to speak, which I enjoyed.
