Blow for national security, or a success for privacy?

Much as I admire our Constitution, can we just be rid of the House of Representatives and stick with the much-more-suitable-to-govern Senate? Ya know, like in Roman times or sumthin?

On a side note, whether the Patriot Act is law or not, intelligence and law enforcement officials will continue to do whatever the frell they want. It was just widely reported last week that the NSA (National Security Agency) has been doing wiretaps on U.S. citizens without court warrant, totally outside even the realm of the Patriot Act, and completely illegally.

I suppose it's better not to have such facist tools as the Patriot Act codified into law, but the facist government will do as it pleases anyway.
