(11,064 posts)A link to the full-text of Public Law 109-364 is also provided, along with an excerp and a brief explanation so that it can be readily understood in context.
Because the link is provided to Public Law 109-364 and no effort has ever been made to claim that a DU threat was "the ultimate authority," your statement "Citing DU threads is not exactly the ultimate authority" is irrelevant. It is not related to the post with the link where more information can be found regarding Public Law 109-364 and where the full-text of that law can be found.
Because no effort has been made to "interprest these 'laws' " in a manner contrary to the full-text of Public Law 109-364 or in lieu of a link to Public Law 109-364, the statement made in the second sentence is unnecessarily argumentative and also irrelevant to what was actually said. Incidentally, no claim is or has been made that "the Executive Branch of the US Goverment is compelled to agree." The Excutive Branch already agreed with the full text of Public Law 109-364 when Bush II signed it in 2007.
Your claim that there has been spamming is also wrong and irrelevant. In a number of instances, a number of people have repeatedly claimed that Obama cannot take any action until a court order has been sought and obtained, that taking action to protect First Amendment rights is the exclusive province of the Oakland mayor and/or California governor, or otherwise claim that Obama cannot take action based on other reasons.
They have repeatedly made those claims. You may prefer that they not know about Public Law 109-364. It certainly wasn't widely publicized when it was signed. But it is the law.
