Republican Speaker of the House Flushes United States Constitution Down the Toilet by Paul Craig Roberts!

As I predicted on April 11, the police state got the Republicans to reconsider and to pass their warrantless spying and home entry. The Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson cast the deciding vote that nixed the warrant requirement.

This tells us all we need to know about Republicans. They are part of the problem.

Super-Patriots will say "we have to do this to protect ourselves from terrorists." They do not understand that without the Constitution we have no protection.

Edward Snowden reports that the situation is even more serious than I thought. A section of the FISA Act is being enlarged to require every company and person that provides any internet-related service to assist NSA surveillance.

"This bill represents one of the most dramatic and terrifying expansions of government surveillance authority in history."

The Great Dispossession Part 4 by Paul Craig Roberts!

Under the 5th and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution the transformation of our financial property into collateral for secured creditors constitutes a taking.

I do not know whether the taking that exists in the regulations can be taken to court and ruled against prior to a taking actually occurring. Probably not.

The question therefore is how effective will a court ruling be in a situation of financial chaos. Clearly, those who devised the taking regulations either were ignorant of the taking clause or do not expect a Constitutional ruling to prevail.

If the legal profession were to take up this matter, perhaps the discrediting of the regulations would render them useless and force financial regulators and Congress to find other solutions to the problem. Clearly, the ability to create endless amounts of derivatives must be abolished.
