in 2006, wyden was one of 10 senators to vote against re-authorization of the patriot act. in 2011, with the expiration of the patriot act approaching and with efforts to reauthorize the act once more intensifying, wyden and fellow oregon senator jeff merkley sharply criticized the rush to pass the bill. wyden stated on the senate floor that "the patriot act was passed a decade ago during a period of understandable fear. now is the time to revisit this, revisit it and ensure that a better job is done of striking that balance between fighting terror and protecting individual liberty." wyden and merkley expressed particular concern with a provision of current law allowing law enforcement authorities to collect "a vast array of business records, emails, phone numbers, [and] even dna from anyone deemed 'relevant' to an investigation." wyden offered an amendment to reform the "business-records provision" of the patriot act, which he views as being used in an abusive and secret way. in a may 2011 speech in the senate, wyden sharply criticized the use of patriot act, stating: "the fact is that anyone can read the plain text of the patriot act, and yet many members of congress have no idea how the law is being secretly interpreted by the executive branch, because that interpretation is classified. it's almost as if there were two patriot acts, and many members of congress have not read the one that matters. our constituents, of course, are totally in the dark. members of the public have no access to the secret legal interpretations, so they have no idea what their government believes the law actually means. in an interview for the documentary "" wyden was asked about legal reviews and the scope of potential assassinations (or "targeted killings") of american citizens by their government, and responded that "the american people would be extraordinarily surprised if they could see the difference between what they believe a law says and how it has actually been interpreted in secret," but that he "is not permitted" to disclose the difference publicly.
