Background: Imagine you are a supreme court justice and you are listening to 2 closing arguments written by 2 lawyers on opposing sides. One lawyer is for the Patriot Act, while the other argues that it is a threat to American civil liberties.

You can also watch the movie “Snowden” and include examples from it that are in favor of or against the Patriot Act. You must cite evidence from the text to support your argument, and be sure to provide detailed analysis for each quote you use (showing how well you understand what you read and how it connects to your claim).
