"There is no public record of the operations or decisions of the panel, which is a subset of the White House's National Security Council, several current and former officials said. Neither is there any law establishing its existence or setting out the rules by which it is supposed to operate."

I thought it was wrong from the get go and still do. I was amazed and shocked at the number of people here on FR having no problem with it.

“This press release is just part of the process of acclimating the public and, more importantly, local law enforcement to accept this like its a normal and necessary function of government.”

That’s the BHO Adm’s mo. Like a trial balloon, that’s what they do, on ever-increasing scales of encroachment of the Constitution and in furtherance of their Marxist totalitarian goals.

“What’s even worse is how many FReepers are all for this. I don’t understand how they could be so stupid as to think that this won’t be used against Conservative Americans who stand against the Leftists.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The BHO Adm thrives on precedents-—preferably Bush precedents (It gives them an opportunity to ratchet up the crime/corruption to infinity.)-— but if not a Bush precedent, any precedent will do.

I know that this administration has that MO, but the truth is that unless someone slaps some sense back into Americans in general so that they start referring back to their Constitution as a guide to what is and is not acceptable from our Government, BHO is the least of our worries.

The fact that the citizens of this Country are allowing this to happen and even cheering it on is more of a black mark against us and our National Character than anything a sitting President could do.

Thanks, thouworm.

And this is in the Constitution--- where? Scary that only crazy Ron Paul is asking that?

Jack Hunter did a great video on this issue, quoting Justice Scalia.

What opened my eyes was the Elian thing. Nothing the Clinton/Reno crew would do could surprise me. But, then it became apparent that the American people thought sticking a machine gun in a little boy's face was great. Face it. We're stupid, cruel bullies who hate liberty.

Why not have star chambers? It’s not like we actually have rule of law in this country anymore. I’m tired of pretending.

Agreed. This is not the country it once was. Moral relativism is an absolute evil.

If they get their way, we’ll be the first to go... but like all totalitarian take-overs - there will be millions of innocents after us.
