What, you want martial law?

I don't, but it looks like we're well on our way towards martial law.

Extend every Constitutional protection to every foreign national that comes over here. Make sure he can take flying lessons under privacy safeguards, go to truck driving school and get a HazMat ticket, and buy whatever chemicals he needs without anyone "prying into his business."

Well, our borders are still a sieve (I still haven't gotten over the 14 Syrians who were let in to take flying lessons in October) and I see no evidence that anything is being done to deport illegals of any nationality.

With few exceptions, the laws and EO's apply to all of us not just foreigners (see Patriot Act for an example).

Our military can guard borders of countries all over the world but can't guard our own. Meanwhile, there are rumblings of rescinding Posse Comitatus so the military can "guard" all of us within our borders.

We've got a whole new airport security package where little old ladies get their knitting needles taken away and law abiding Americans are searched head to toe, all in the name of safety, but we can't target foreigners for searches because we may offend someone.

Sorry, I don't get it. And I think the FBI agents here have a legitimate beef because they know this spying isn't going to be limited to "terrorist" activity in certain churches.

I agree with each and everyone of your observations about the EOs and the Patriot (sic) Act. I am happy to finally be able to say for the SECOND time in a month that I am once again PROUD of Special Agents of the FBI. First there was SA Dan Vogel speaking out about the OKC bombing, and now agents are rebelling against this action. Maybe the regular street agents are finally finding their voices against the machinations of the politically motivated suits in Washington and the militarizing behaviors of the tactical boys. We'll see.
