The old version was 'arrest upon suspicion of terrorism.'
Terrorism was not defined nor limited to any particular group such as Mid Easterners.
The new version added, "arrest upon suspicion of support of terroism." Again no real definition much less limits.
No probable cause, no warrants, no judges signature etc etc etc. no miranda escobedo rights warnings, no rights.
And the asshole went on public television in front of a big display of the Constitution etc. and signed the bill remarking how that little change was going to save us all from....
a two bit tin horn shyster dictator from Chicago?
Fifteen Senators voted against 85 including all the RINOS voted for it.
The world slept especially the lame stream media
Hell most of this forum slept and ho hummed and went back to debating civil rights and the Bill of Rights that don't exist anymore.
and all it takes is 'mere suspicion' with no proofs required or offered.
Been that way since the Patriot Act was first put in place. only thing new was adding ' suspicion of 'supporting' terrorism.
You just read the whole thing with all it 's definitions and limits. NONE.
But the government didn't shut down and the media cheered and they now have the legal power to ignore the Constitution at a whim. Especially those pesky rights card readings and producing proof and providing a lawyer and trial and all that useless crap.
ACLU was so pleased
Joe Mama. That's a slang insult from Yo Mama.
Ring any bells yet?
But be happy the suspension of Constitutional protections with in 100 miles of our borders and coastlines was not extended ...but it was kept in place.
Ding a ling Ding a ling
How Patriot-ic Act-ing do you feel now?
When you give up your rights to the whims of the likes of TSA and the President says 'we won the war on terrorism' who besides Obeyme and the toad in his pocket is the 'we' he references? (The toad is Hillary.)
As for the new Executive Directive the topic of this as HBD read it and decide for yourself. Then go look at it's history which started under Roosevelt around 1940. This one is the latest version and consolidates all the bits and pieces.
By the way, David is my favorite first name for some reason. Now why is that?
Can't quite put the finger on that reason. Think I'll tap a finger to my head to help me think.
Like the change no one noiticed on Dec 31s doing away with civil rights and Bill of Rights some key definitions were left blank.
?
Sec. 803. Authority. (a) Executive Order 12919 of June 3, 1994, and sections 401(3)-(4) of Executive Order 12656 of November 18, 1988, are revoked. All other previously issued orders, regulations, rulings, certificates, directives, and other actions relating to any function affected by this order shall remain in effect except as they are inconsistent with this order or are subsequently amended or revoked under proper authority. Nothing in this order shall affect the validity or force of anything done under previous delegations or other assignment of authority under the Act.
(b) Nothing in this order shall affect the authorities assigned under Executive Order 11858 of May 7, 1975, as amended, except as provided in section 802 of this order.
(c) Nothing in this order shall affect the authorities assigned under Executive Order 12472 of April 3, 1984, as amended.
c) be prepared, in the event of a potential threat to the security of the United States, to take actions necessary to ensure the availability of adequate resources and production capability, including services and critical technology, for national defense requirements;
Here is the direction to take over nearly everything:
Sec. 201. Priorities and Allocations Authorities. (a) The authority of the President conferred by section 101 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2071, to require acceptance and priority performance of contracts or orders (other than contracts of employment) to promote the national defense over performance of any other contracts or orders, and to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense, is delegated to the following agency heads:Show citation box
(1) the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to food resources, food resource facilities, livestock resources, veterinary resources, plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment and commercial fertilizer;
(2) the Secretary of Energy with respect to all forms of energy;
(3) the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to health resources;
(4) the Secretary of Transportation with respect to all forms of civil transportation;
(5) the Secretary of Defense with respect to water resources; and
(6) the Secretary of Commerce with respect to all other materials, services, and facilities, including construction materials.
Oh yea, go check out this gem (the NDER), a herd of loyal Dumbocraps hand picked to become Executives that can be activated "in an emergency" and tell you what to do:
(e) The head of an agency may activate an NDER unit, in whole or in part, upon the written determination of the Secretary of Homeland Security that an emergency affecting the national defense exists and that the activation of the unit is necessary to carry out the emergency program functions of the agency.
Nope, this is a blueprint for a government know to be unable to tell the truth, and make up lies to match it's agenda, to take over.
Crap...
But does he have the guts to declare martial law when it will be clear that he just wants to keep Trump out of office?
He has shown cowardice when it comes to such things as not backing up his drawing of a red line.
Still, the Narcissist-In Chief has his huge egotistical legacy hang-up to nurture.
He has his Obamacare and wants to keep it. Period.
He wants his fundamental change and he wants us to keep it. Period.
That including other things--
He wants coal miners out of work and to keep them unemployed. Period.
He wants pseudo-transgenders to traumatize little girls and wants them to keep doing it. Period.
Old Dino could keep this up but won't. Period.
People sometimes point to Posse Comitatus as a defense against the invocation of the IA, but that's an incorrect assumption. The PC restraint is against the use of the U.S. military in a law enforcement role in a state that is not in a state of insurrection.
We remain, as we have for over 200 years, one Presidential order from totalitarian rule.
(I meant to write King Barry--not Batty. That's such a great typo I'm gonna let it stand).
This one is under the DHS consolidation of federal powers also.
Like the change no one noiticed on Dec 31s doing away with civil rights and Bill of Rights some key definitions were left blank.
But then no one cared then or apparently does now.
