Nevertheless, it is legislation that has been proposed that makes the unconstitutional provisions of the Patriot Act seem like parts of the Bill of Rights, I just took the time to go and look to see what the Act actually proposed.
This is the first time I have heard about this prposed Bill, (at least that I can remember) how is the Obama Administration getting blamed for this? Has he openly come out and supported it? I note the article says that it was a closed door vocal vote before it hit the floor of the Senate back in 2007, when it was soundly defeated. (Tabled)
This legislation is ridiculous, and once again, I am baffled as to how the constituencies of the sponosers of such a bill could ever be re-elected, but I digress.

Proposed during the "Bush" era too
This bill never became law. This bill was proposed in a previous
session of Congress. Sessions of Congress last two years, and at the
end of each session all proposed bills and resolutions that haven't
passed are cleared from the books. Members often reintroduce bills
that did not come up for debate under a new number in the next
session.

Obama Wants to Jail Americans with New Law
By Europe Union Times
Foreign Ministry reports circulating in the Kremlin are warning that an
already explosive situation in the United States is about to get a whole lot
worse as a new law put forth by President Obama is said capable of seeing up
to 500,000 American citizens jailed for the crime of opposing their
government.
Sparking the concern of Russian diplomats over the growing totalitarian
bent of the Obama government is the planned reintroduction of what these
reports call one of the most draconian laws ever introduced in a free
society that is titled "The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism
Prevention Act".
First introduced in the US Congress in 2007 by Democratic Representative
Jane Harmon, this new law passed the US House of Representatives by a
secretive voice vote, but failed to pass the US Senate, after which it was
believed dead until this past week when it was embraced by Obama who became
the first American President to name his own citizens as a threat to his
Nations security.
In what is called the National Security Strategy document, that is required
of US Presidents by their Congress, that embraces the dictatorial ideals of
the "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act", Obama
has ordered his Federal police and intelligence forces to begin targeting
Americans opposed to him and his radical socialist polices.
Obama's top counter-terrorism advisor, John Brennan, in speaking to
reporters about this new "strategy" says it makes the problem of home-grown
terrorists a top priority because an increasing number of individuals in the
US have become "captivated by extremist ideology or causes."
The Times of London is further reporting that Obama's new National Security
Strategy "officially" ends America's "War on Terror" in what they call "a
sweeping repudiation of the Bush doctrine of pre-emptive military strikes."
And as Obama begins re-focusing his forces from fighting America's foreign
enemies, to those opposed to him in his own country, it is important to
remember the warning about this new law given by the former CIA official,
Philip Giraldi, who had previously warned of the Bush-Cheney plan to attack
Iran with nuclear weapons, and who said:
"The mainstream media has made no effort to inform the public of the
impending Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act. The
Act, which was sponsored by Congresswoman Jane Harman of California, was
passed in the House by an overwhelming 405 to 6 vote on October 24th and is
now awaiting approval by the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which is
headed by Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut.
Harman's bill contends that the United States will soon have to deal with
home grown terrorists and that something must be done to anticipate and
neutralize the problem. The act deals with the issue through the creation of
a congressional commission that will be empowered to hold hearings, conduct
investigations, and designate various groups as "homegrown terrorists."
The commission will be tasked to propose new legislation that will enable
the government to take punitive action against both the groups and the
individuals who are affiliated with them. Like Joe McCarthy and HUAC in the
past, the commission will travel around the United States and hold hearings
to find the terrorists and root them out.
