<p>No, that’s not what it ruled. There WAS a warrant as specified by the Patriot Act. Mayfield claimed that the issuance of that type of warrant (which have long been used in fighting organized crime and drug cases) was unconstitutional. The only thing that the Patriot Act did was extend the use of such warrants to cases of terrorism.</p>
