Bush makes power grab

President Bush, without so much as issuing a press statement, on May 9 signed a directive that granted near dictatorial powers to the office of the president in the event of a national emergency declared by the president.
The "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive," with the dual designation of NSPD-51, as a National Security Presidential Directive, and HSPD-20, as a Homeland Security Presidential Directive, establishes under the office of president a new National Continuity Coordinator.
That job, as the document describes, is to make plans for "National Essential Functions" of all federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations to continue functioning under the president's directives in the event of a national emergency.
The directive loosely defines "catastrophic emergency" as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."
When the president determines a catastrophic emergency has occurred, the president can take over all government functions and direct all private sector activities to ensure we will emerge from the emergency with an "enduring constitutional government."
Translated into layman's terms, when the president determines a national emergency has occurred, the president can declare to the office of the presidency powers usually assumed by dictators to direct any and all government and business activities until the emergency is declared over.
Rosie is all over the news and they quietly pilfer this through! NOT a word from the press!
We now have all the frame work for a dictatorship slipped into place and ready to go on the next little problem that they wish to label a "disaster"... What happened to that oath of office? You know the one that is supposed to PROTECT the constitution not rip it down?
Why dont we compare patriotism to NSPD-51 and HSPD-20?
i think Rosie has misplaced anger, its not those who have no power but those giving the orders.
Why even bother with the legislative or judicial branches any moe? Just let ole gw make ALL the decisions!!!
