New Executive Order Seizes Control over Civilian Activities

[Glength]

40. Nut?

Suspicion is a healthy thing, if not taken too far. Blind following and head-nodding is just as bad on both sides of the aisle. Don't assume everyone reading your post agrees with you. Instead, state what you think the EO is doing, and why. Otherwise, It is you who seems to think like a pecan.

There is a purpose for everything, but not all are laid out for inspection - I am wondering, for instance, why the term 'defense requirements during peacetime' is used 3 times, without specifying what that entails. In a casual conversation that is fine, but in an EO authorizing powers to draft, confiscate property, and force relocation, it seems too important to leave to interpretation.

I don't pretend that everyone is out to get me, but leaving that kind of power up for grabs in loose term seems problematic.
