Loading ...Holy Crap….
February 11th, 2005 by Steveok, I have some really, really terrifying news. What do you call someone with the power to waive any law at any time for any (or no) reason, without possiblity of legislative, judicial, citizen, or any other check or balance?
Why, the Homeland Security Secretary, of course! This isn’t a joke. This is serious. Section 102 of the recently approved HR 418 gives the Secretary of HS this power. If this passes the Senate, then we will have a quasi-dictatorship, or hell, a real one. Interestingly enough, a Democrat introduced an amendment which would have stricken Section 102 and ONLY Section 102, but 220 Republicans (96% of those present) and 23 Democrats (those fucking god-damn appeasing moronic whores) voted against that amendment. Why? What logical excuse could you give for voting against an amendment that opposes abuse of power?
Call your Senators. Tell them to strike this section DOA. Bush sure as hell won’t veto it; he hasn’t vetoed any bill yet. Also, search around to see if your representative voted for it (and against the amendment). If they did, give them a god-damn piece of your mind, and ask them what the fuck is wrong with them.
