National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive
President Bush signed a directive May 9 that essentially allows the president, in a "catastrophic emergency," to take over all government functions and direct all private sector activities in order that the country emerge from the catastrophe with an "enduring constitutional government."
The "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive" allows the president to assume all these functions until the emergency is declared over. Unlike The National Security Act, which gives the president many of the same powers, the new directive contains no mention of congressional ability to authorize or rescind the emergency authority. - freemarketnews.com
In short, Bush may now declare himself absolute ruler at any moment and Congress can like it or lump it. Naturally, this act of betrayal is of so little importance and consequence, the corporate media believes you are better served knowing Justin Timberlake is in love. - uruknet.info
Read it yourself. Then, call your congresspeople. Tell your friends. Tell strangers! Shout it so some one will hear! This cannot stand.
This is so terrifying; I want to cry over the slow death the poor constitution is having to endure, in its own name.
