There is something "fishy" going on with the banks under this emergency.

We probably won't find out what it is until it's too late to do anything about it.

You are very confused.
The people who have the nukes are the same people who are taking your money away via taxes.
Wake up.

I know this might sound a bit odd, but mu wife pointed out that it was very interesting that this is happening just as they are trying to finalize the whole Health care reform debacle. Do you think Obama would try to abuse his powers under national security, in an effort to pass this bill (because of the "evil swine flu") and not have to deal with the opposition?
It would make sense wouldn't it? He keeps getting stopped at every turn by opposition, so in turn, what better way to actually do what you want, than to make the opposition a non-issue? "Oh you oppose my health care bill? Too bad, this is a matter of national security, so suck it up!" The same excuse could be used on how he's handling the economy. "Oh you don't like that I'm giving bailout money to failing banks and businesses? You don't like that I'm taking control over car dealers? Sorry, your opinion no longer matters as this is a national emergency, and as such, what I say goes... at least for the next 2 years" Sadly... by then 2 years will be WAY too late.
Congratulations you liberal monkeys! You elected the very first dictator to America I hope you're happy with your "King"

I think this is the most logical scenario, at present. However, I don't think he will come out and make it a demand, he won't need to. The fear tactics and media will sway the people (as it always does. Why this always happens is another question to ask...) and pressure will be on Congress to make it so. One thing I can believe about the Pres. is that an opportunity will not be passed up and this is a grand one...

This may be off topic but here is something I have noticed. At one company I work at I have noticed an increase in foreign drivers. Not Hispanic but somewhere else like Russian. and these guys can barely speak English. I also have a second job that has me traveling the states. I have noticed the same thing elsewhere. it may seem like a stretch to be mentioning this, but givin the circumstances we may be heading in, I thought it was worthy of mentioning.

There you go.
How To Overthrow Your Own Government, Legally and Without Violence, In Order To Survive
Basically stated therein, use the tools, and templates they use, and outsmart them.

With all due respect to the point you're making with regard to the structure of the law, it is impossible for any constitutional right to ever be suspended by law. It takes the constitution to outweigh the constitution.
If a federal official attempts to deny you a constitutional right, then it is your duty as an American to exercise your second amendment right to bear arms against that official.
I know the government might think it can suspend constitutional rights, and the courts may agree, but that's not the social contract upon which this nation was founded, the constitution is. And there's a long and proud tradition of Americans shooting people who threaten that.
And even setting the law aside, there's the simple matter of government by consent of the governed. If the people do not consent and the government will not relent, a defacto state of revolution exists, and again, the government is liable to get shot at in that case, laws be damned.

The first paragraph in the Boston Globe link from m kahn is a real eyecatcher.
"President Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency, giving his health chief the power to let hospitals move emergency rooms offsite to speed treatment and protect noninfected patients."
Move emergency rooms offsite. Hmm Ive heard of a couple of places that FEMA has that would serve as excellent treatment/containment areas for just that purpose....

LOL!!! Wake up people....we don't have rights now in peace or in an emergency.
Have you heard Nazi Pelosi at all lately? When asked by a reporter what in the Constitution gives you the right to pass healthcare against the will of the people she answered,
"You're kidding me? You're kidding me, right?"
paraphrased but pretty close. That is Nazi Pelosi. I can only guess it's much worse from der Obamfuhrer.
As for myself...if someone wants to give me a shot against my will, they'll be shot as first. Plain and simple. I am not going out in a Mengele plotted satanic cabal fest.

I'm just not buying the US government taking over the population of the US. There's not enough manpower and the motivation would only be if there was a foreign force behind it... like the Caliphate and Islam.
If that's the case and Obama is the Manchurian Candidate of Islam then it could get interesting as the US military will go against the president.

Not enough manpower??? What makes you think that they would use the U.S. military??? Think bigger. How about the U.N.??? How about allied military???
And, Obama is not the Manchurian candidate of Islam, nor anything else. He's just a puppet and he doesn't even have to be brainwashed for him to be so.
However, I'm with you on this...I'm not buying that the US government is taking over the population of the U.S. Even if they were, how is that any different than what they are already currently doing?

Ah, you are correct, I botched the quote tags when I replied (I saw that it was an external source quote though). I'll edit my post to accurately reflect what I was replying to, and hope nobody got the wrong impression.
