(62,325 posts)Democrats. When Bush first introduced these invasive, anti-Constitutional practices under the pretext of stopping terrorists, most Democrats were outraged and the ACLU among other civil rights organizations have been fighting, successfully until late 2009, ever since.
Paul and other Libertarians and some moderate Republicans have joined Democrats in their opposition these egregious violations of people's rights.
So just because someone we don't like or support on other issues is making a case against something most Democrats have always agreed on, shouldn't change people's minds about the issue itself, imo.
This is one of those bi-partisan issues where across the political spectrum, people have joined forces to protest the continuing destruction of rights.
