re: And now for the rest of the story...
Unless you are a terrorist or someone in bed with the insurgency or are aiding French munitions constractors delivering roadside bombs to the insurgency - this EO is meaningless
Meaningless? That’s a foolish thing to think. The fourth amendment tells us:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
This blank check tells us that
…any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense…
So a bean counter in treasury (Henry Paulson now) has the ability to take your property ON HIS SAY SO. You say this is meaningless? If so the remainder of our constitution is meaningless.
This document alone is grounds for impeachment.
