Trampling on the Bill of Rights? That's rich after the 8 years preceding Obama.

Then there is the other argument that Executive Orders are also un-Constitutional, since the legislative branch is to make the laws and the executive branch is to enforce them. The three branches of government each have their own duties and they are not to tread on the other branches of government, otherwise, the fox is guarding the hen house.

>>I think your statement on the 'Freedom of Information Act' needs clarifying. That act quite often only provides access to information when it is no longer deemed a danger to some (innocent) person or country. It can pertain to the discovery process in justice too. Quite often that information is not available for years and years. Not only that, but the change protects Interpol from that Act does it not? Isn't that the big concern?

>>Interpol is housed in our own justice department and now, Interpol can perform search and seizures on U.S. citizens outside of the limitations of the 4th Amendment protecting citizens. Does it give them the right to prosecute Americans without having to disclose the information that was used to prosecute them (the discovery process)?

>>One thing not generally known is that many of the Interpol agents in the U.S. are American citizens.

>>Something else: isn't Interpol basically the enforcement arm of the ICC? The U.S. never signed the Rome Treaty so in essence, didn't the President bypass that entirely and now allow the ICC to have jurisdiction over U.S. citizens without congressional approval? Or if we really want to get paranoid: is this a new secret police (let's ask Dragan)...
