LAW OF THE LAND

Bush grants presidency extraordinary powers.

Directive for emergencies apparently gives authority without congressional oversight.

President Bush has signed a directive granting extraordinary powers to the office of the president in the event of a declared national emergency, apparently without congressional approval or oversight.

The "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive" was signed May 9th, notes Jerome R. Corsi in a WND column.

It was issued with the dual designation of NSPD-51, as a National Security Presidential Directive, and HSPD-20, as a Homeland Security Presidential Directive.

The directive establishes under the office of the president a new national continuity coordinator whose job is to make plans for "National Essential Functions" of all federal, state, local, territorial and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations to continue functioning under the president's directives in the event of a national emergency.

Read between the lines! We are girding our loins for something big. Does it start here and then go to the Persian Gulf or does it start there with our naval forces and spread here?

[FARS]

Heads Up!

[Allegra]

Whoa....

Sounds serious.

No planes screaming overhead.

Yet.

[Hot Tabasco]

We are girding our loins for something big.

Suspension of the 2008 election! I knew it!

Clinton tried it back in 2000 but fortunately us FReepers with our foil caps were able to save the day...........

[txhurl]

Is it Ezekiel time?

[kimmie7]

.

[mysterio]

Couldn’t he just declare martial law in an emergency? Why is a new policy needed?

[txhurl]

OTOH, if I heard of 'Operation Ezekiel' I'd probably go runnin' to the hills.

Wait. I'm already *in* the hills.

[DrGunsforHands]

People are reading too much into this. This is his reaction to Congress trying to run the War in Iraq. It’s just a restatement of the Constitution’s powers granted to the President.

[Enterprise]

The moonbats are assuming that President Bush wants to be dictator. They aren’t considering the possibility that something dreadful might be coming.

[Allegra]

Is it Ezekiel time?

I'm wondering...should I be nervous? (Instead of staying up way past my bedtime playing on FR)?

....Nah.

[FARS]

I believe Martial Law has to be shared with Congress. this does not.

What is the difference between a President with these powers declaring a national emergency and your ordinary third world dictator?

We've got no hills! Eeeeeek!

[don-o]

bbl

Headed out to replenish tin foil supply

[RC2]

And what happens if someone like Pelosi becomes President? I believe that the powers of the President are supposed to come from the Constitution?????

[tet68]

My loins ARE girded!
We know it’s coming, soon.

[basil]

It would seem to me that something this important would be coming from many sources—not just WND and whatever Anti-Mullah is.

[GoldenPup]

HO freakin’ HUM. ZZZZZZZZSnoreZZZZZZZZZ.

[Allegra]

If the security alert color-coded thingie goes to orange, then we'll know something's up.

(Do we still use that?)
