Section 8

For those of you not horrified enough with the Economic Patriot Act, I offer for your consideration Section 8 of said legislation. It reads, in its entirety:

"Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency."

WOW.

No, more than "WOW".

Holy Fucking Shit!

So, we're saying that Henry Paulson can do whatever he wants with $700,000,000,000.00. Whatever. He. Wants.

If he decides that the best bailout plan is to buy Fiji and move his family there, so be it. Sure, we might be pissed, but we're prevented, BY LAW, from doing anything about it.

But he wouldn't do something like that. Really? Why Not? In the world of corporate capitalism there is no "Right" or "Wrong"; there is "Legal" and "Illegal". We're about to make it Legal for a captain of American capitalism to do whatever he wants with almost a Trillion dollars of our money!
