> Every law called "the Civil Rights Act" passed with overwhelming Republican support.

The PATRIOT Act is hardly a champion of many patriotic things. Names mean... very little, so I'm not sure your point.

"Every faction in Africa calls themselves by these noble names - Liberation this, Patriotic that, Democratic Republic of something-or-other... I guess they can't own up to what they usually are: the Federation of Worse Oppressors Than the Last Bunch of Oppressors. Often, the most barbaric atrocities occur when both combatants proclaim themselves Freedom Fighters."

The Civil Rights Acts were not bills with misleading names.

The Voter Rights Act was a landmark civil rights act that isn’t obviously civil rights.
