Bush Confirms He Will Seek More Dictatorial Power
While Constitutional experts and even sectors of the corporate mainstream media have denounced the latest power grab by the Bush administration as "unnecessary and highly dangerous", the President himself has confirmed that he will seek even more authority from Congress and will attempt to pass more legislation aimed at granting the government unquestionable power over the people. Legislation signed Sunday gives the government the green light to install permanent backdoors in communications systems that allow warrantless wiretapping of American citizens, a blatant violation of the 4th amendment. The administration has a 6 month window in which to impose any surveillance program it chooses and that program will go unchallenged and <font color="red">remain legally binding in perpetuity - it cannot be revoked</font>. [..] The bill was passed on Friday after the president jawboned Congress, saying lawmakers could not leave for their August recess at the weekend unless they "pass a bill that will give our intelligence community the tools they need to protect the United States." http://infowars.net/articles/august2007/070807Power.htm As the popular left leaning blog Think Progress has pointed out, even the corporate controlled mainstream media has editorialized against the FISA legislation, with the New York Times today calling it an “unnecessary and dangerous expansion of President Bush’s powers.”: http://thinkprogress.org/2007/08/07/fisa-editorials/ ![]() ![]() |
