How the Government Is Passing Secret Laws

alternet.org — Once upon a time, a team of federal attorneys went before the Supreme Court only to discover that their entire case was based on a revoked executive order and therefore moot. The revoked presidential order was understandably missed by the attorneys. The revocation had never been made public -- an example of what legal scholars call "secret laws."

They are only enforced thanks to the mindless thugs paid to keep the serfs in tow. If you think you live in a free country, you are sadly mistaken and should take a bit of time off from TV and video games to see the trap that has been set for you.

And there is nothing liberals love better than telling other people how to run their lives. We should have a Constitutional amendment that simply states that ALL regulations from regulatory agencies must be submitted to Congress as bills for debate and passage into law. That would not only bind the hands of the unelected bureaucrats, it would give Congress REAL work to do.
