I thought only the EVIL Rethuglicans wanted to persecute you for your library books

Remember the kid who lied (don't have time to look it up) about getting the "midnight knock" on his door for checking out a copy of the little red book of Mao?

How about Ted Kennedy using Sam Alito's library records to try to hank him?
Is it a different thing to do the Patriot Act on a Rethuglican than a terrorist under invrstigation?
As long as I'm on the subject, how many people WERE really questioned about their library book selections?
