  > Don’t forget that Biden authored the Patriot Act No, he and Tom Daschle sponsored, in the Senate, the Clinton Administration’s legislative proposal (the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995), some of which was, in modified form, passed as the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, and which is sometimes also seen as a spiritual antecedent of the Patriot Act.
