Part of the Fifth Amendment is “private property be[ing] taken for public use, without just compensation”, for those of you playing at home. And yeah, I had to look it up )

“Tuesday, there wasn’t even a fuss. Wednesday, the world was a little different. By executive order, the Secretary of the Treasury may now seize the property of any person who undermines efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq. The Secretary may make his determination in secret and after the fact.”

There hasn’t been much media notice of this; the UK’s Guardian has an article explaining how the new authority will only be used to go after terrorists.

I am absolutely speechless on this one.. I think its truly time to purchase one of the Disappearing Bill of Rights coffee mugs. Unless that’s deemed unpatriotic and they take it away from me. I’m not a Bush-basher, but seeing how many of our hard-earned freedoms have gone down the toilet and how we really aren’t any safer than we were on 9/11; I gotta wonder just what the hell is going on and where we’re going to end up.
