Patriot Act Troubles
It looks like some Republican members of Congress are blocking Bush’s effort at renewing the Patriot act:
A group of libertarian-minded Republicans in Congress is blocking President Bush’s effort to strengthen domestic counterterrorism laws and reauthorize the USA Patriot Act, which the president has made one of his top domestic priorities this year.
As a result of this opposition, Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, was forced last week to cancel panel consideration of legislation that would have given law-enforcement officials more tools to pursue suspected terrorists.
Good.

Why do libertarian-minded Republicans in Congress support the terrorists?

The corollary to that is:
Why do non-libertarian-minded Republicans in Congress support shreading the constitution?
