New presidential directive gives Bush dictatorial power

Unless I am reading this wrong, this is a bit frightening. It will allow the President complete control over any and all government activities until the "emergency" is declared over. Also worrisome, is the vague definitition of an emergency.

"any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."
This bypasses Congress and the National Emergency Act, which requires that such proclamation "shall immediately be transmitted to the Congress and published in the Federal Register."

A Congressional Research Service study notes the National Emergency Act sets up Congress as a balance empowered to "modify, rescind, or render dormant" such emergency authority if Congress believes the president has acted inappropriately.

But the new directive appears to supersede the National Emergency Act by creating the new position of national continuity coordinator without any specific act of Congress authorizing the position.

More can be found here and here.

This flew right under the radar of the most large news organizations. How could that happen?

I saw that a few days ago and wondered about it as well. I certainly hope Bush doesn't think he can get away with this, if he feels like trying to act on it.

Given how congress and the media are rolling over to get their tummy patted, I'm sure he feels he can get away with it.

I wasn't going to point the finger at Bush. This directive could sit unused for years before it sees light.

However, it is already signed, sealed and delivered. So in effect, he has "already got away this", it just hasn't seen use yet.

Absolutely. Bush is frightening on so many levels, but any President with unfettered power is likely to abuse it sooner or later.

You know what brought this on, don't you?

All the hand-wringing and accusations that Bush didn't do enough before and following Katrina, while he followed the laws requiring Nagin and Blanco to formally request assistance.

So now the problem is remedied and the President has the power to step in and avoid all the accusations Bush endured.

Be careful what you wish for when you ask for government to do more for you.

There is quite a difference between cutting through a little red tape to help provide natural disaster relief sooner and bypassing everything to lay numerous powers in the hand of one individual.

Ya, I'm gonna go with vmarks on this one. This is not some conspiracy to seize power as a dictator; it's to make sure there's effectiveness from the federal government when dealing with natural or unnatural disasters like Katrina or 9/11. It would make things smoother and probably save lives to not have to go through any bureaucracy whatsoever during a disaster.

That said I think it's very important that Congress be required by law to review the use of such power within 48 hours and to then decide whether the President should be allowed to continue wielding such control. And just to make sure after it gets through Congress it should go through the Supreme Court to make sure that no one is losing constitutional rights without justified due process.

Read it carefully and it is an executive order response to a very massive catastrophe such as a nuclear attack. Since there won't be an attack like that any time soon or ever, it's safe to say Bush won't be around if there's ever a need to execute this legislation.

But hey, let's have another field day attacking a Texan village idiot.

Bush is frightening on so many levels
Unbelievable how anyone can find him frightening. As for rule by decree or dictat, Bush has exercised his power of veto less than any US President in the last 30 years so it's not easy to pin undemocratic behavior on him.

You assume most of the people here read things written at above a 6th grade reading level. Note the links posted are to blogs and sham news outlets who pretend to have real reporters with degrees in journalism. The actual text of what's being talked about is far too "wordy" for most people here.
They lose attention after the first paragraph so they have to rely on someone else to tell them what it means.

That is very clearly NOT what it says. "any incident, regardless of location, that results in ... disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."
A stock market crash would do.

What's interesting about this is that George W. Bush is apparently the first U. S. President to figure out that, up until this directive, there have never been plans in place to cover all these emergencies and contingencies. Maybe he's not the village idiot after all.

He is a village idiot, and even if John Kerry were in charge right now there would be no difference. FEMA and Executive Orders have been around for ages and have been moving towards cutting down bureacracy and red tape for a good while now.

This is what it says in the original document:

(b) "Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, OR DISRUPTION severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions;
Caps and emphasis mine.

Yes, that would mean a stock market crash would do. "Mass casualties" are NOT prerequisite to declaring a catastrophic emergency.

Absolutely not.

It is completely irrelevant whether you personally believe Bush could or would abuse this. Fact is, the potential is there, and if it's there, somebody WILL abuse it, whether next month or 150 years down the line.

They won't. I'll stick to that position because I know how much Americans value their freedoms. It would be an impossible task for any politician who wanted to be a dictator to convince any government department, political party or business elite that he should rule by decree. Not only will he have to fear Americans taking up arms en masse but he will have to fear every person he thought of as an ally or friend. Americans from the richest to the poorest aren't going to give up their freedom for dictatorship under any circumstances.

It's nice that you "know how much Americans value their freedoms."

It's rather shocking how willingly and freely they have been giving them up, though, and if you look at people like Buckaroo, it's quite obvious that many have no idea what that "freedom" actually means or demands from them, and would sooner rescind it than assume responsibility for it.

They haven't. What's rather shocking is your inability to read Rice's statement on Rendition that you linked to.

OK, I notice that you have not responded to any of the issues of substance that you've been proved wrong on, but I'll bite. I'm calling you on that particular piece of horseshit. Which 'lies' about government policy have I spread?

You don't think the fact that for 6 years he had a Republican controlled congress had anything to do with that?

The first two links had direct links to the White House website. Without bringing any points of your own and only making derogatory comments about others, did you even read the directive?

Hence the question mark at the end.

Agreed. Why veto something if it is within the same mindset.

I'd have thought those kind of powers have been around longer than Bush has - he's just renewing them.

Back in the eighties the US gov't did rex 84, for example.

I remember reading something a little while ago about Alberto Gonzales being very interested in the UK's offical secret act with regard to press control.

A British civil servant who attended told me “it was quite amazing really. Gonzales was obsessed with the Official Secrets Act. In particular, he wanted to know exactly how it was used to block newspapers and broadcasters from running news stories derived from official secrets and how it could be used to criminalise persons who had no formal duty to maintain secrets. He saw it as a panacea for his problems: silence the press. Then you can torture and abuse prisoners and what you will—without fear of political repercussions. It was the easy route to dealing with the Guantánamo dilemma. Don't close down Guantánamo. Close down the press. We were appalled by it.”
"The Plot Against the First Amendment" by Scott Horton (Harper's Magazine)

so they could enact these kind of things and silence anyone who tried to report it. You'd never know until they wanted you.

with regard to the original topic though, I recall reading something about Tommy Franks (ret. US Gen.) saying how a major catastrophe would mark the end this experiment in democracy.

Freedom in it's purest form. I really believe the current administration views democracy as a temporary thing that the nation is experimenting with, and that can be shut down. They've certainly done pretty well.

I received this in an email the other day regarding Democracy.


About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government."



"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury."



"From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."



"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years."



"During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage"



Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, S t. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:



Number of States won by: Gore : 19; Bush : 29

Square miles of land won by: Gore : 580,000; Bush : 2,427,000

Population of counties won by: Gore : 127 million; Bush : 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Gore : 13.2; Bush : 2.1



Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."



Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
