Civilian prison camps to be installed on army bases

[Crazy Wolf]

I do really hope Obama does more stuff to, y'know, restore the Constitution. It was demoralizing to see how much Bush did, and disheartening to realize how much Constitution-destruction past presidents have wreaked during their terms.

Psht. This is news? Seymour Johnson AFB for example, has had a civilian prison on its premises for over 40 years. The inmates are the ones who do a lot of the manual labor on the base that used to fall to CE squadrons and civvie contractors.

Non-story.

If you haven't noticed, the king has been passing executive orders like he can actually write law. Nobody's even bothered to check them like they should.

Until something happens, you disapprove, and you're deemed a convict?

It bothers me, to say the least. If something happens, don't say I didn't warn you. If it never happens, woohoo, more prison space.

Inconcievable!

So, with Obama's change-of-plan for the War on Drugs, should we be expecting prison populations to go down? It seems like it'd make sense to let out those in jail for possession of marijuana, from a financial standpoint.

Psht, Obama has the nerve, the sheer AUDACITY even, to have among his Executive Orders, treasonous things like
-Ensuring Lawful Interrogations
-Honoring of Labor Contracts in Federal Projects
-Transparency of Presidential Records.
-Reviews of Ethics Violations and conduct.

What a slave driver...

You mean the same transparency where he says he won't sign something without giving everyone time to know, signs something, and then lets it be known publicly after he did it?

Dude, do you know how much time he gave people to know he was going to do this stuff? Over 5 months. These actions were part of his campaign promises. That's plenty of advance knowledge for me.

No, im talking about the FOIA, the same thing the president was talking about and the very thing that allows reporters to sequester non classified documents from various government agencies. So NOW, if some news agency ask to see the military records of so and so, the responsible agency has no choice to comply if it is persuant to the FOIA. The memo has already been sent. Verious agencies have begun setting up e-mail and contact information in order to comply with what was outlined in the Executive Order.

Its like if half the schools in Townsville had no phones, and the governor states "Im demanding that open communication be restored with our Public Offices and establisments" and those schools started getting phones and cable communications lines installed.
