I took the main thrust of the article and posted it here. However, I strongly encourage you to go read the whole thing. Scary stuff. Even Republicans are wiping their butts with the Constitution!

“This abominable legislation enjoyed overwhelming support from both political parties in Congress because the establishment loves power, fears dissent and hates inconvenience, and it doesn’t give a damn about the Constitution. It passed the Senate by unanimous consent, and only three members of the House voted against it. And the _resident signed it in secret.”

....

Vipers.

This is probably the scariest thing,yet..and Republicans overwhelmingly supported it?
I think the rebelion starts when they do one, or a combination of the following: Seize people’s private property (large scale). Start arresting people for political reasons. Shut down talk radio or conservative internet sites. Definitely a serious attempt to seize guns.
Probably what would start a Civil war more than anything eale is if they removed American Idol or the Office off the airwaves with no explanation.

Pick one. Hint: We've tried two already... If we lose the third, we'll only have the last box left.

• Who is the Secret Service authorized to protect?
  
  

  By law, the Secret Service is authorized to protect:

  • The immediate families of the above individuals

  • Children of former presidents until age 16
  • Visiting heads of foreign states or governments and their spouses traveling with them, other distinguished foreign visitors to the United States, and official representatives of the United States performing special missions abroad

“It passed the Senate by unanimous consent, and only three members of the House voted against it.”

Here is a hint: a bill that passes by that margin in the GOP House is NOT some Obama-conspiracy.

“The new law re-writes an existing 1971 trespass law, which stated someone had to act “willfully and knowingly” when committing the crime.

Now, the language has been changed so that the actor only need behave “knowingly,” which would mean knowing one was in a restricted area but not necessarily that he or she was committing a crime. This small change would allow the Secret Service to arrest protestors more easily, the ACLU said in a statement.

The law makes it an offense to knowingly enter the certain areas without legal authority. The following areas are off-limits:

(1) the White House or its grounds or the Vice President’s official residence or its grounds, (2) a building or grounds where the President or other person protected by the Secret Service is or will be temporarily visiting, or (3) a building or grounds so restricted due to a special event of national significance.”

Well, guess what? If someone is knowingly trespassing in the White House, arrest them. For this law to affect you, you first need to be trespassing.

This law is how they will deal with the next would be Breitbart. Think about it, Breitbart walked into Weiner’s press conference, after being prompted, he literally commandeered the podium. Then proceeded to make Weiner Schnitzel. All the while scooping the media that had no time to spin the story. That struck fear in the heart of every politician, of every stripe. That kind of truth, without the left/right federal media filter, can not be allowed. With this law they can detain you, label you a wing nut, and the same media will dutifully set about destroying your credibility with innuendo or what have you.
