"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."

In essence this wording creates yet another branch of government, the Treasury Branch! Will every school child now have to memorize "Judicial, Executive, Legislative, Treasury" as the four branches of government?

Perhaps Rep. Jerrold Nadler [D-NY] should actually read the constitution. Then again, which of these Democrats thought Clinton abused his Pardon power?
ReplyDeleteRepublicans better wake up. As I see it, the Dems don't want pardons because they have plans to criminalize the Bush administration after he leaves office. Their goal is complete power held by the Democrat Party, full and complete dictatorial power, much like the Bolsheviks and Nazis did last century.
And, once again, the sheeple just blindly follow, falling for the promise of an easy life and free money over freedom and liberty.
