Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003 - also known as The Patriot Act II, is draft legislation written by John Ashcroft's Department of Justice. The Center for Public Integrity obtained a copy of the draft, marked "confidential", on February 7, 2003, and posted it on its web site, along with commentary. The draft version of the bill would greatly expand the powers of the United States government to unprecedented levels, while simultaneously eliminating or curtailing judicial review of these powers. Members of the United States Congress said they had not seen the drafts, though the documents obtained by the CPI indicated that House speaker Dennis Hastert and US Vice President Dick Cheney have received copies. Some commentators speculated that Ashcroft did not actually believe that any of the measures outlined in the bill would be passed, but that.

Pilgrims - days at sea, weighing anchor near present-day Provincetown on December 21. Plymouth Rock Realizing that it would require a significant additional voyage to reach their goal, the Pilgrims chose to abandon their original plans and form a community where they were.
