USA Patriot Acts Defeated
Not yet, but USA's government just made a severe mistake of strategy in extending their "spy on everything" laws. They started whitelisting what can't be spied on without cause instead of how the Constitution blacklists what can't be spied on without cause.
This is a very devious trick. Its like if they made a rule that says cars are allowed to drive on roads (which is obvious and already true), and instantly based on that people start being convicted of driving cars places other than roads like in a field of grass or a trail through the woods.

Its supposed to be no spying without "probable cause". Now its spying on everything with no cause, except these few things they make laws for need "probable cause".
The most important thing to remember about this is the patriot acts which allow such spying are not amendments to the constitution and therefore are still required to obey it. Therefore, there is no reason to list which things "probable cause" is needed for.
Regardless of if the patriot acts are unconstitutional or not, it is clear that whitelisting what needs "probable cause" is unconstitutional, therefore independent of the patriot acts and based purely on the constitution this new proposed law changes nothing at all.

"Supreme law" needs no other law to repeat its words.
Do you see the duplication? That includes GPS.
Anyone who wants to defeat the Patriot Acts should pay very careful attention to this whitelisting of things that need probable cause. This is a strategic point to attack the Patriot Acts from, since the smaller law is clearly unconstitutional, while the Patriot Acts are too big to be understood.
Spacecollective's rules say to be "non-partisan", and I don't think I'm crossing the line because this is about privacy and freedom instead of any specific political party, and its implications will spread farther than USA's borders as countries tend to copy eachother's laws.
EDIT: The patriot acts are a threat to freedom, but are a very small problem compared to the centralized banking system which controls everything by counterfeiting/printing money whenever they want it and paying off politicians. As a response to this, I am proposing a strategy (which I'm almost certain they'll accept once its explained) of an alliance between the underground and governments/corporations/authorities against the Federal Reserve, specificly to create a variation of the Bitcoin decentralized cryptocurrency which has 1 key held by authorities and 1 key held by each person and both keys are needed to access any money, so money could be frozen and all transactions observed and identities proven at all times, so it replicates all the major functions of a central bank, and costing less than 1% as much as such banks, those banks will not be able to compete with it when businesses start using this proposed cryptocurrency in their infrastructure as a replacement for dollars. More info mostly on page 2 of: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=20320.0 including technical instructions for an "implementation", modifying the Bitcoin code. The central banks will be defeated in a free market. The military industrial complex will be defeated. The governments which were controlled by money will be democraticly controlled by many competing cryptocurrencies with different equations depending on how they are designed, so economy equations will evolve and compete like products evolve and compete today. I am no longer interested in the Patriot Acts. They're unimportant compared to decentralizing the global economy as fair and balanced cryptocurrency networks. The real power is in the money. We're all slaves to money. That's not a joke. People say it and laugh but they know theres some truth to it. Its time to free the slaves, allowing us to compete with our own currencies, and paying all the relevant taxes and obeying the relevant financial laws that apply to cryptocurrencies (not dollars). Because we are in competition with the central banks, it would be a "conflict of interest" for them to make laws for cryptocurrencies. We're completely non-profit, have zero employees, zero buildings, zero expenses since all computers and cpu time are donated by our users. We have no resources. Not much laws apply to us. Actually, I could probably get this "bank" classified as a tax exempt charity.

The Constitution of the United States of America is the supreme law of the United States. Empowered with the sovereign authority of the people by the framers and the consent of the legislatures of the states, it is the source of all government powers, and also provides important limitations on the government that protect the fundamental rights of United States citizens.

"Supreme law" needs no other law to repeat its words.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
