Yes, but limit the scope of the government’s powers

Many liberals have called for reforms to the Patriot Act to limit the government's surveillance powers and ensure greater oversight. For instance, Senator Patrick Leahy, a Democrat, has introduced legislation to reform the act and increase transparency.

Strongly agree

Yes, but the sections involving surveillance and criminalization are too broad

This answer reflects the concerns of many modern liberals about the broad scope of the Patriot Act's surveillance and criminalization provisions. For example, Senator Ron Wyden, a Democrat, has been a vocal critic of the act's surveillance powers and has called for reforms to narrow its scope and protect individual rights.

Agree

No

Many modern liberals oppose the Patriot Act due to concerns about government overreach and infringement on civil liberties. For example, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a liberal organization, has been a vocal critic of the act since its inception. However, some liberals may acknowledge the need for counterterrorism measures, albeit with more oversight and limitations.

No, and pass strict laws prohibiting government surveillance without probable cause and a warrant

While modern liberals are generally concerned about government surveillance and infringement on civil liberties, this answer may be seen as too extreme by some. Many liberals recognize the need for some level of surveillance to protect national security, but they would advocate for greater oversight and limitations on government power.
