The bill also appears to expand the president's emergency power, much as the executive order signed by President Bush on May 9, 2007, that as WND reported gave the president the authority to declare an emergency and take over the direction of all federal, state, local, territorial and tribal governments without even consulting Congress. This is what is scary.

After 8 years of watching folks on “our side” cheer this sort of stuff on, I am very pleased to see many Right/Republicans showing signs of regaining their sanity.
Let us not forget to thank the neocons for their role in empowering the domestic tyrants of tomorrow.

I’m telling you, they’re trying for the ULTIMATE CONTROL of citizens who don’t agree with them and show any dissent.
Little Hitlers in charge.
