Wrong on all counts.
The Democrats didn't retake the Congress until the 2006
mid-term elections.

George W. Bush urged for and managed to get passed 
the U.S. Patriot Act long *before* the Democrats obtained Congressional
majority in 2006.

The Patriot act allows the government to intercept your email. your
mail, FAX's, intercept your phone calls and access your banking 
and medical records.

The Senate was NOT controlled by liberals in 1998.
The Senate was not controlled by Democrats until the 2006 mid-term elections.

FACTS.
