Are We Happy With Our Rand Paul Constitutional Freedoms Now?

Earlier this week, our Congress failed to pass the Patriot Act.
Even Mitch McConnell, proud of his enmity toward the President, was on President Obama's side here.
Rand Paul, also from Kentucky, decides to filibuster this legislation the country sorely needs. He doesn't care about that. He cares about his own recognition for shoving his beliefs down the throats
of those equally as vain.Vanity can help humans swallow a lot of gunk.
Now, before the week is completely over, foreign hackers have attacked four million American
accounts.
Not just any accounts were hacked. These were federal government employees, many of them in the
personnel department. Could the department somehow now hire absolutely the wrong person entirely?
Will employee benefits be mismanaged or altered so as to be erroneously denied?
If none of this is likely, how many of our resources will be used to correct the hack-attack, and regroup?
We don't live in Colonial times any longer.
Our constitution can accommodate the extra-national threats we now face.
For now, though, the government which has our personal information is 'some one's government not our own'.
Comforted?
If so, OK, because many of the repercussions from this may yet be lingering in our future.
Besides, we might be smart to realize a lot more "non-patriotic" trolling may be awaiting us in the
near future.
