Obama 2007, President Does Not Have Power Under Constitution to Unilaterally Authorize a Military Attack

Being a true liberal, Obama will quote sentences from the Constitution, but legislate his own views when a certain situation arises. This is the purest form of hypocrisy. Obama is unable to walk the walk and talk the talk. Obama has to be impeached.

(CNSNews.com) - As a presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama (D.-Ill.) emphatically stated that the Constitution does not give the president the authority to unilaterally authorize a military attack unless it is needed to stop an actual or imminent attack on the United States.

Obama made the assertion in a Dec. 20, 2007 interview with the Boston Globe when reporter Charlie Savage asked him under what circumstances the president would have the constitutional authority to bomb Iran without first seeking authorization from Congress.

“The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation,” Obama responded.

Obama did not seek congressional authorization before joining allies, including Great Britain and France, in taking military action against the regime of Libyan dictator Col. Moammar Gadhafi in order to establish a no-fly zone over that country. The action was approved by the United Nations Security Council but not by the U.S. Congress.

Homeland Security shuts down dozens of Web sites without court order

When the government is given absolute power the Constitution becomes null and void. The Constitution was purpoely written to curb the abusive powers of the government. We live in a country with laws with due process. When the government disregards due process, their intention is very clear. They want to control us in every aspect of our daily life.

(Raw Story.com) The Homeland Security Department's customs enforcement division has gone on a Web site shutdown spree, closing down at least 76 domains this week, according to online reports.

While many of the web domains were sites that trafficked in counterfeit brand name goods, and some others linked to copyright-infringing file-sharing materials, at least one site was a Google-like search engine, causing alarm among web freedom advocates who worry the move steps over the line into censorship.

All the shut sites are now displaying a Homeland Security warning that copyright infringers can face up to five years in prison.

Homeland Security's ability to shut down sites without a court order evidently comes from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a Clinton-era law that allows Web sites to be closed on the basis of a copyright complaint. Critics have long assailed the DMCA for being too broad, as complainants don't need to prove copyright infringement before a site can be taken down.

According to a report at TorrentFreak, the search engine that was shut down -- Torrent-Finder.com -- neither hosted copyrighted material nor directly linked to places where it could be found. The owner of Torrent-Finder.net complained that his search engine was shut down without so much as a court order or prior complaint.

If America Accepts Sharia Law Expect the Mob Rule Called Democracy to Prevail

If this country ever accepts Sharia law into the court system, it will cause a serve backlash against Muslims nothing seen before the civil rights movement. It will be the "straw that breaks the camels back" and I fear the safety of every Muslim living in America. Sharia law is base on a religious law that contradicts the US Constitution. There is no greater law that surpasses the Constitution. It is what the founding father created and is the foundation of this country. This is not the Middle East or an Islamic nation. Muslims did not have a contribution to the creation of this democracy. No matter what the courts say, every Muslim organization propagating this intrusive law will see the mob rule that we call Democracy.
