second: Bush repeals 5th Amendment
if the Pres thinks you are aiding anyone who is or are yourself interfering with the Iraq recovery effort he can seize your assets without trial.
A few days ago, Bush signed a new executive order in which he uses broad language to claim that he has the power to seize the property of any person who undermines efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq. The language in the executive order is broadly defined and does not specifically identify a specific group of individuals that the order applies to. It opens up the possibility of anti-war protesters and other political dissidents having their property confiscated for simply speaking out against the war.

oh joy, oh joy oh joy

And to think, the Supreme Court, Congress and the Fourth Estate all sit idly by (or help, as the case may be) as he turns a democracy into a tyranny.
