FIFTH AMENDMENT [U.S. Constitution] - 'No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb, nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.'

Say goodbye to this amendment.

FOURTH AMENDMENT [U.S. Constitution] '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.'

For those who are keeping score this one went out the window some time ago.

Every executive order Bush has issued is patently illegal. The state of emergency cited in the May 2003 order ceased to exist with the overthrow and subsequent capture and hasty execution of Saddam Hussein. Since all these others hinge on that one they are technically moot. But, as we know, once THEY get a hold of your property good luck getting back, innocent or otherwise. These guys are on the way the out and this shit will straightened out in short order. One order from a new president will void all of his over reaching then it will be up to Congress to try to make it doesn't happen again.

Hopefully these assholes will get kidnapped while they're on vacation and mysteriously appear before the Hague. We can only hope.
