I spent twenty-two years serving in the Colorado criminal justice arena. I worked as a municipal police patrolman, a police detective, a patrol sergeant, and as a uniformed county sheriffs deputy and detective. Following twenty years as a cop, I also spent two years on the other side of the Courtroom as an Investigator for the Colorado State Public Defenders Office. So, I saw crime and punishment from both sides of the Courtroom. I spent my share of time at crime scenes gathering facts and evidence, then in Courts of Law, presenting the evidence and testifying under oath in trials.
Sometimes, warrant in hand, I actually kicked in doors and made arrests at gunpoint, but not exactly like this Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry operation. Real cops dont get to do business like Dirty Harry did but it is fun to watch his movies.
To convince a judge to sign a search or arrest warrant I had to first make sure that in preparing my affidavit for arrest or search warrant I had jumped through all of the hoops within the Fourth Amendment, which guarantees protection from unreasonable police searches of our homes, and capricious or illegal arrests. All of my reports, photos, and collected evidence were a matter of public record, available to defense attorneys through motions for discovery, to lay members of the public, and to members of the press via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Imagine now a foreign international police department that does not have to worry about the constraints of the Fourth Amendment, an agency that has license to bypass American Courts of Law, can investigate and arrest American citizens within our own borders, haul them off to Court in a foreign land...

I honestly would think it poetic justice if the first door these a-wipes kick down has a .44 loaded with bear-busters on the other end.
We already have a civilian national security force. It’s called the 2nd amendment.
He should be impeached immediately. He is CLEARLY NOT PROTECTING AND DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION OF THE US. He took an oath to do so.
"Now there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any messages saying that "we are holding our position." We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose!"
We MUST...we have NO CHOICE, but to FIGHT. Liberty or Tyranny...it's our choice.
My guns are not for sporting.
My guns are not for self defense.
My guns are for preserving a balance between the rights of the individual and the rights of the collective.

And just where in the Constitution does it say the President can waive the Fourth Amendment with a stroke of the pen???
“He took an oath to do so”
he tried to take the oath in front of the nation and failed and then took in a back room some place.
I say bring it on!
f’ these f’n liberal mofos
I have to agree, wholeheartedly.
In a back room using an alias as his name.
Or pick up something else.
Make my day, as they say. A true American hero--the first guy to ventilate an Interpol dude on American soil. I imagine they will soon show up at my front door for some vague international offense I just committed.
They say it's partly true/partly false.

First, welcome to FR, and try to cool your jets; Executive orders do not amount to hill of beans, especially when things are going against the Constitution.
Second, Executive orders are immediately nullified by the next President. They are not permanent!
Third and the most important one, is that the President alone can NOT make any laws and/or binding resolutions for the USofA, without a 60 by 60 Congress approval. Everything a President does is temporary and a political grand standing at best!
