Latest grounds for impeachment
by JR Mooneyham
| July 19, 2007 |
Here's Bush's latest executive order.
Executive Order:
Blocking property of certain
persons who threaten stabilization
efforts in Iraq
It sounds to me like this could be used against anyone who's against war, or against Bush-Cheney in
general. But like my friend Steve used to say, 'you can't get blood out of a
turnip'.
Basically it's another version of the unlawful combatant provision: a blank
check they can put anyone's name on to harass or 'disappear' them, like I
think was done in countries like Argentina decades back.

Bush's latest executive order looks to me like yet another tightening of the noose around America's necks. Read it and weep.
It's hard to know how worried to be about this one, since it merely, as you note, echoes so many other similar plainly unConstitutional edicts, orders, rules, and laws.
We are (and I mean this literally) at the tyrant's mercy, and we have been, for quite some time. I can't count the number of unConstitutional and unAmerican powers Bush-Cheney have seized, powers that, if these bastards ever choose to use them, could easily be used to "detain" forever anyone who speaks against this administration.
We've reached and passed the point where Bush-Cheney can -- whenever they wish, entirely on their say-so, with no oversight -- have all your possessions seized, and have you |
| | yourself seized, have you locked away with no due process, without even any
word to your friends and family about where you've 'disappeared' to.
This is tyranny, and this is Bush & Cheney's America. Republicans are replacing our Constitutional republic with a dictatorship, and almost without exception the Democrats in Congress are entirely OK with this, since they won't lift their voices or even lift a finger to protect and preserve the Constitution.

A link doesn't imply that we agree with every sentence and every sentiment on every site we link to. We use our noggins, and suggest you use yours.
Anything sent to Unknown News may be published. If you don't want it published, say so plainly. Of course, we publish all incoming hate mail.

Because we respect peoples' privacy, we do not keep records of friends' and contributors' contact information. This means we can't forward private communications between readers and writers, but we always welcome dialogue for publication.
When we publish incoming emails, we usually edit out the sender's last name, email address, or anything else that would tend to uniquely identify the author (if we slip up, please let us know). But if your email is unambiguously intended only to annoy, insult, or threaten us, we'll publish all the details, and leave it on-line forever.
We're especially interested in hearing and considering different perspectives. All we ask is that you conduct yourself sanely and civilly. For the most productive dialogue, it helps if you'll cite a specific article or concept we've gotten wrong.
You can contact Helen & Harry at <newsuneed at yahoo.com>. If that address ever fails, our back-up email address is <unknownnews at inbox.com>.
But please, don't email us unless you're really and truly, honestly, actually trying to send the publishers of News a communication you're not sending to anyone or everyone else.
Please don't send attachments or other cr*p we don't want.
If you're trying to reach us but getting no reply, it's probably because you've sent us cr*p we don't want, so we're filtering your emails into the trash, unopened and unread.
If you'd like to have your email address unblocked, simply send a sincere apology (from an un-blocked email address).
