In another example of how little Barack Obama cares about the United States Constitution and the role of Congress -as bad as it can be- the current U.S. president ratified the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement or ACTA. President Obama had signed the first binding draft of ACTA last October 1, 2011, also in secret.
As we reported yesterday, ACTA is much more dangerous than SOPA, PIPA or OPEN, because it is the accord that legalizes internet censorship on a global basis. That is why presidents around the planet have received an signed the agreement without any review from their congresses or the people. This globally reaching agreement is often equalled to NAFTA or CAFTA because it standarizes the policies that will govern information trade, just as the other agreements define the rules of the circulation of goods and services between the United States and partner nations.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
There are rules. He is NOT in compliance with the rules he took the oath to uphold. He should be removed from office.
No argument. But who do you think will do it?
HA!
An executive order of the POTUS is not a state law.
Were you posting to someone else?
I did not mention “executive order”, I know what that is and a “treaty” is not an executive order.
But I did say “executive agreement”, Obozo legal weasel words. Made up on the fly.

“The President can only constitutionally use a sole executive agreement to bind the country on matters that within the sole executive province of the President, which making IP law is not. So Wyden demanded the Administration submit the agreement to Congress or explain why it does not have to.”

There is no defending this action as being legal. It is not. Now the light of day must be shined on this POS to expose what he is trying to do.
As it has happened in most countries that signed ACTA, in the United States the President has issued an executive order to keep negotiations concerning Internet control legislation secret. Barack Obama has cited national security concerns.
Not sure what you're saying. We're in agreement. Obama's action is illegal. That's why it'll be struck down when it hits the courts. Just like McCain-Feingold was.
He will defy the laws until someone holds him accountable.
For 3 years he has done that, but lately is appears he is desperate and flagrantly ignores any restraint.
November cannot come soon enough.
Europe is about to ratify.
How long do we have to use the Internet? Not long I'd say and say goodbye to freerepublic also
And this Obama and other countries have been doing this ACTA in secret. NAFTA,China trade agreement, and the other trade agreements were meant to destroy U.S.A sovreignity and U.S. economy . this ACTA will destroy the Internet and our freedom.

And this Obama and other countries have been doing this ACTA in secret. Of course the media has been hiding this ACTA from the public. NAFTA,China trade agreement, and the other trade agreements were meant to destroy U.S.A sovreignity and U.S. economy . this ACTA will destroy the Internet and our freedom.
I can’t help but wonder what the last seven or so presidents would have done on this issue.
