“I am setting in a cubicle diagnosing a man’s computer fault codes in his car from 600 miles away and typing in a forum. Thats why I don’t judge things like this. Cawz I don’t know what or why it was done. I do know that it was done by people a hellofa lot smarter than me.”
And that amnesty thing! Those guys are so much smarter than us. And busting the federal budget. Because they are such freaking geniuses.
The Iraq War resolutions, the WOT Acts and the financial acts passed against Muslim terrorism are very broadly written.
To actually seize the assets etc, the Departments need procedures. Those procedures are always outline in Executive Orders for these types of broad acts where the Executive is OBLIGATED to carry out the intent of the Legislative Branch, on-the-fly against changing circumstances.
The President with the EO is merely broadening other orders to hit (IMHO) those undermining the new government, where before it was only set up against the Muslim terror groups.
This whole thread is a tempest in a teapot. These EOs in the Clinton era were just as scary in the raw wording.
Did you really type that? OK, let me know when Jesus Christ is on the ballot, otherwise, you're nutz! Blackbird.
Exactly.
No, what I've never heard of is the kind of trust one would have to muster to believe in it. Blackbird.
If you’ve never heard of it, then how do you know “what kind of trust’ it gives?

"NO" meant your assumption was wrong, but you knew that. Blackbird.
This guy is WAY out of line on this.
Bush said once "if you're not for us, you're against us". Eagerly waiting for this to play out.
Hey, it works for the EPA. They don’t “take” your property, they just block you from using it. And we’re all for that, eh?
Ping me too when you get here Frith!
(is this because of Harry Reid pulling the defense funding???)
At first- I thought this was a joke.
I’m no lawyer- but this seems an extreme furtherance of...something that I don’t “get”. What is he REALLY doing here? And is it constitutional?
What does this mean, actually?
After re-reading..............
it sure seems that Präsident Busch has just given himself the power to freeze the assets of anyone whom he feels is a “threat” to his foreign policy, which could include any individual, company or organization that dares to speak out against his policies.
pretty scary, just ask yourself, do you want hillary to have this power?
Scary. A lot of Saudi money could be impounded. Buy a horse before the rush, and take good care of. It may be a while before we get the cajones to seize their oil fields...
“The question is, who decides who is helping terrorists?”
“Alex, I’ll take Bananna Republics for $500, please”
The connection to the Fifth Amendment can be summarized in two words and three letters: “tax returns” and “IRS”...
