Once again our civil liberties are being infringed upon, same as with the wire tapping. This poses the question, what will constitute "emergency conditions"? It seems that Bush is arbitrarily expanding the powers of the executive branch of government, which is counter to what this country's founding forefathers had in mind. This, combined with the Bush administration's obsession with secrecy, suggests that "emergency conditions" are probably going to be defined in such a way that no one will ever know when they are in effect. It's sneak and peek all the way, man. He can open all my mails he want, I get junk mail at home anyway, I don't even have time to go through them. Didn't know it was part of his job responsibilities. Amendment IV 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. If he opens my bills will he pay them? i agree with arifsali .. he can open my mail too... i didn`t notice he knew how to read .... )) *LOL* That was funny syncopath! That besides, this is just yet another of the Bush regime's "contrary to existing law" put-outs infringing on our rights, to place in the loooong and ever-expanding list of other violations. The last two yeas of his reign are going to be long indeed. ^ long and painful without the rubber-stamp congress. We really need some clarification on when the executive branch can have special authority and when they can't. I think one such moment would be when congress declares war and possibly with sunset provisions to require re-authorization. The only thing he seems to know about the Constitution is that is the name of a road closed to the White House explicitly reinforced protections of first-class mail from searches without a court's approval. "protect human life and safety against hazardous materials and the need for physical searches specifically authorized by law for foreign intelligence collection." Thank you. GD, maybe you didn't understand what you read. The first thing you quoted above describes the text of the law itself, not Bush's signing statement, which (as is the case with most of his signing statements) explicitly contradicts the bill he just signed into law. Voila: Most of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act deals with mundane reform measures. But it also explicitly reinforced protections of first-class mail from searches without a court's approval. |
