Sigh.......
Well, so much for THAT fallacy of freedom via the bill of rights.
Say hello USSR children.
why is the Occupy movement troubled ,they’ll get the first waiver
They could call it “The Sedition Act”.
When the simmering rage of American patriots finally boils over, ‘HR347’ is going to be as effective and meaningful as a bullet proof vest constructed out of papier-mâché.
It was unconstitutional when Adams did it and it’s unconstitutional now. It also didn’t matter that it was unconstitutional then as it doesn’t now.
"`(2) the term `other person protected by the Secret Service' means any person whom the United States Secret Service is authorized to protect under section 3056 of this title or by Presidential memorandum, when such person has not declined such protection.'."
The next time a TEA party is organized all Obama has to do is sign a memorandum and the party (say Bill Ayers, Van Jones, etc.) and they don't decline the protection you will find yourself in federal prison.
Damn stupid republicans. They probably didn't read far enough into the ten paragraphs to discover this...
Biggest under reported story of the year.
Maybe OWS will finally serve some good purpose. Their protesters may be the first ones to start getting arrested and pushing a challenge through the courts.
Now, we know one of the ulterior motives of the OWS movement. It was to get a law passed to be used against upcoming TEA Party rallies.
Perhaps we should no longer simply dismiss the Republican Party as the “Stupid Party.”
This bill is evil, as one of the posters already stated, and the Republicans were virtually UNANIMOUS in their support thereof.
From the Declaration of Independence:
—”That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”.
tic toc tic toc...
