"Just call them "drug offenders", then you can take whatever you want without the inconvenience of a "trial" or "charges". "Mr. Baker said he hopes the legislation will give the SEC seizure powers much like the Drug Enforcement Administration"
Yep, looks like the forfeiture laws from the WOD are going to get to spread their wings a little here. I am absolutely amazed by the number of people on this board that are more than willing to flush their Constitutional rights down the toilet if they, in the most remote way, believe it will solve the immediate problem in front of them.

We know the DEA's a bunch of gun-toting thugs. But the SEC is nothing but a bunch of underpaid lawyers and accountants.

They're the same people who feel it's win at any cost. They're indistinguishable from the people on the left who behave the same way. They all stand for nothing.

If you'll notice, a number of those responding positively to this action are not doing so because they
"believe it will solve the immediate problem in front of them" , they seem to like it primarily because it punishes those that they perceive as "the rich".
Hello... where am I? Have I wandered into Salon?
