Via Drudge, the AP has an interesting bit on the Patriot Act vs. the Census:
In a letter to Congress, the Obama administration provided its legal position that census data cannot be disclosed under the Patriot Act, the nation’s main counterterrorism law. The government has previously given legal assurances the information will not be used for immigration enforcement.
“If Congress intended to override these protections it would say so clearly and explicitly,” wrote Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich.
