I would like to thank my opponent for making this an excellent debate. I am genuinely impressed at their knowledge of war on terror legislation, and have thoroughly enjoyed this discussion.

You are correct in your assumptions of which I was referring to. 1. The USA PATRIOT ACT Section 215 has been found to be in violation of the 4th amendment by the ACLU and should be repealed.
