QUOTE Of course it is. And since the War on Drugs and the Patriot Act, it is in even greater effect today than ever before. Under the 1980 Controlled Substances Act, the President can seize your property without consent of Congress as long as he thinks you are involved in drugs. There is no way to get your property back other than suing the President, which is impossible if you're poor and you can't afford a lawyer since you just had all your money seized. The War Powers Act allows the President to deploy troops without consent of Congress for 60 days (I think it was raised to 90). Furthermore, he can declare martial law during that period as well, effectively making him absolute dictator for two months. Dude... that is just stupid... so he can deploy troops and declare martial law at any given time for 60 (90) days? |
