And here I thought we were a nation of laws. All you've got to do is assert that you "waive" a law, and it's gonzo? What's that all about??<br><br>[color:red]&#63743;</font color=red> [color:orange]&#63743;</font color=orange> [color:yellow]&#63743;</font color=yellow> [color:green]&#63743;</font color=green> [color:blue]&#63743;</font color=blue> [color:purple]&#63743;</font color=purple>

This is the preface to the paragraph I posted ~<br><br>Determination and Waiver: I [Chertoff] have a mandate to achieve and maintain operational control of the borders of the United States. Public Law 109–367, §2, 120 Stat. 2638, 8 U.S.C. 1701 note. Congress has provided me with a number of authorities necessary to accomplish this mandate. One of these authorities is found at section 102(c) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (‘‘IIRIRA’’) . . . in section 102(c) of the IIRIRA, Congress granted to me the authority to waive all legal requirements that I, in my sole discretion, determine necessary to ensure the expeditious construction of barriers and roads authorized by section 102 of IIRIRA.<br><br><br>Sorry. Gotta puke again. It's not like we didn't know this, but still. And for me, it's beyond too close to home.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>[color:white]xx</font color=white>[color:blue]I always deserve it. Really.</font color=blue><br><br>

Interesting that in 1996 Congress granted the authority to do something to the secretary of a department that didn't exist, and wouldn't exist for five or six more years.<br><br>[color:red]&#63743;</font color=red> [color:orange]&#63743;</font color=orange> [color:yellow]&#63743;</font color=yellow> [color:green]&#63743;</font color=green> [color:blue]&#63743;</font color=blue> [color:purple]&#63743;</font color=purple>

They didn't. But this is his interpretation of that law. Everything DHS has tried to accomplish, at least down here, as gone very very badly. He's almost out of time (read: office), so he's essentially pulling the trigger. Good timing, since everybody is focused on the run for POTUS.<br><br><br><br><br><br>[color:white]xx</font color=white>[color:blue]I always deserve it. Really.</font color=blue><br><br>

I'm burning mad. I hope that bastard gets his comeuppance. Someone's got to rescind all those orders. <br><br>What's the use in a law, if a sh[i][/i]ithead can come along and just wipe it out any time he finds it inconvenient?<br><br>This is worse than just being full of himself. This is evil. He's showing off. Well, I'll pay attention when someone finally teaches him a lesson. Until then, he's persona non grata.<br><br><br>Shooshie<br><br><br><br><br><br>[color:green]Pictures and things</font color=green>

Typical MacBabe here, David. I can't be too thin or too rich. Just can't figure out the too rich part. <br><br>We'll be back working in the Valley starting next week, and it always adds another dimension to the trip reading, listening, being literally at Idiot Wall ground zero. The past two years down there, we've seen the awareness and momentum grow into outrage and law suits. Hell, maybe I'll go anti-wall guerrilla underground. If y'all don't hear back from me . . . <br><br><br><br> <br><br>[color:white]xx</font color=white>[color:blue]I always deserve it. Really.</font color=blue><br><br>
