So, when Congress and the Senate and the President passed ACA, - and then the opposition Party claimed it unconstitutional and thus the SCOTUC took up the case, that's all *NOT* how it was supposed to work?
I think you're letting yourself get "sensationalized" by the media.
What I mean is - ditch politics and go live your everyday life. Stop believing the hype. We've had a "National Debt" for like 60 years now. People were born and have died - worrying about it for them would have been futile.
Yep Cop Out, rather than take personal responsibility, unfortunately it's all too common, and it leaves the Sharks without checks and balances running the show. You can challenge it or not. You are not free to stop me from challenging it though.
I think you are too easy a target, Fleeced with a smile. When is enough, enough.
When I am personally effected, in the physical world and not by what I hear on internet PARTISAN boards and POLITICAL PARTISAN Media, then I'll fight my battles as they come.
Unfortunately for you and all of the other freaks claiming armageddon and Obama is some Radical - nothing's come up since his election except for my income and that has nothing to do with him. My taxes went down slightly, and all of the Laws surrounding my Universe have been eerily unchanged regarding anything significant since................since..................................a lo0o0o0ong while.
Perpetual War is what needs to be looked into. Other than that? Yea, I'll reserve my fanaticism. It's a healthy lifestyle alternative to "BEEEEEEeeeeeCCCKKK!!!"
President Obama's National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order of March 16 does to the country as a whole what the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act did to the Constitution in particular -- completely eviscerates any due process or judicial oversight for any action by the Government deemed in the interest of "national security." Like the NDAA, the new Executive Order puts the government completely above the law, which, in a democracy, is never supposed to happen. The United States is essentially now under martial law without the exigencies of a national emergency.
Even as the 2012 NDAA was rooted in the Patriot Act and the various executive orders and Congressional bills that ensued to broaden executive power in the "war on terror," so the new Executive Order is rooted in the Defense Production Act of 1950 which gave the Government powers to mobilize national resources in the event of national emergencies, except now virtually every aspect of American life falls under ultimate unchallengeable government control, to be exercised by the president and his secretaries at their discretion.
The 2012 NDAA deemed the United States a "battlefield," as Senator Lindsey Graham put it, and gave the president and his agents the right to seize and arrest any U.S. citizen, detain them indefinitely without charge or trial, and do so only on suspicion, without any judicial oversight or due process. The new Executive Order states that the president and his secretaries have the authority to commandeer all U.S. domestic resources, including food and water, as well as seize all energy and transportation infrastructure inside the borders of the United States. The Government can also forcibly draft U.S. citizens into the military and force U.S. citizens to fulfill "labor requirements" for the purposes of "national defense." There is not even any Congressional oversight allowed, only briefings.
In the NDAA, only the president had the authority to abrogate legitimate freedoms of U.S. citizens. What is extraordinary in the new Executive Order is that this supreme power is designated through the president to the secretaries that run the Government itself:
• The Secretary of Defense has power over all water resources;
• The Secretary of Commerce has power over all material services and facilities, including construction materials;
• The Secretary of Transportation has power over all forms of civilian transportation;
• The Secretary of Agriculture has power over food resources and facilities, livestock plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment;
• The Secretary of Health and Human Services has power over all health resources;
• The Secretary of Energy has power over all forms of energy.
