Don't let the constitution get in the way. Remember what the dems used to say: "Stroke of the pen, law of the land, kind of cool."
A true state of emergency would be preferable to Ascroft's 50% off freedom plan for all Americans. A state of emergency would have a termination date, and would focus people's minds on the fact that freedom is worth defending. People would also, properly, question why their freedom has been eroded in other areas.
And if someone decided that the same should be done for all Canadians, current and former, living in this country then I suppose you would have no problem with that? After all, the Canadian government is no supporter of our actions in Iraq and Afganistan, Peter Jennings has to be the most insidious anti-administration force in the media today, maybe we need to purge our country of a potential 5th column? Begone, ye Caunck menace, and don't darken our door ever again!
What goes around comes around. I love it.
Thanks for the reminder; I had forgotten that one.
