I have the feeling that there is more law behind this than my short research into 50USC1801-1805. 1802 has Jimmah's executive order appended to it. The USC online is the 2000 version. Is there a further executive order? I haven't been to the Federal Register to research that.
This whole thing smacks of the usual Democrat "destroy the nation to get us back in power" approach. If the law is on the side of the President/AG, then I hope someone runs down the leak to the NYT and starts shining the light on the traitors among us.
If dims win congress in '06, Bush will be impeached. This or some other reason, but dims are EXPERTS in the art of payback and this is one of their HIGHEST priorities! Write it down.cb.
Executive orders do not override the Constitution or Federal statutes. Otherwise, why would we need the Patriot Act?
I'd be happy to see Carter and Clinton indicted, for sure.
