It definitely can be and has been. That still doesn't make it right. Too many people are more concerned about 'doing something' than doing the right thing. Pushing through rushed legislation without proper checks for due process is not the right thing to do. Ramming through the Patriot Act brought us the NSA surveillance nightmare. Let's not let history repeat itself.
