This is my favorite part, in the first sentence you agree they will have no law enforcement powers but then you go on to worry they will abuse those powers... “The executive order gives Interpol no law-enforcement or investigative powers to engage in activities on U.S. soil . . . [including] searches, seizures or arrests in the U.S.” Noble has been quoted saying. All of which is true–and completely beside the point .... What prevents the men and women of law enforcement from abusing their power are the constraints of law. Crazy conspiracy theory Newt.

Only that little Johnny had to have one to play Little League baseball, and bigger Johnny had to have one to join the USAF, and old Johnny will probably need one to get SS in a few years. Why would'nt, as my esteemed majority Leader puts it, "A light skinned negro need to show his to be President of the United States of America"??? My great grand daughter calls the tan crayons "Obama Brown". I do not know much about Birth Certificates.

What if Interpol doesn't want to play nice and share that evidence freely to aide in the prosecution? Bottom line is, if there was no need to make this change, what drove it? Conspiracy to undermine the US Constitution or not...it's still extremely unusual and needs to be answered.

Stuff like: During the two terms of President Bush and with the help of a Republican controlled congress, the national debt nearly doubled. It went from $5.73 trillion when Bush took office to 10.7 trillion when he left office. When I saw those numbers, the Republicans lost my loyalty. Anybody else want some answers how the supposedly fiscal conservative Republicans managed to run up such a huge bill? Back to this new INTERPOL nonsense.

So essentially some boys from an INTERPOL field office in San Diego could drive their blacked out Suburban down to Tijuana for the weekend then drive back to the office on Monday with no fear of search. How convenient. Come back on Sunday night and they can swing past L'il Wayne's house on the way home. Hmmm…interesting.

This is valid as Mr. Obama on his own website stated he was British, but it "expired". No one's birth expires and once one is British Nationality Act British, one is British for life, just as Mr. Obama's parents were by birth and marriage. Mr. Isikoff like all Obama elite voters are going to be quite humiliated when this grinds to place which exposes Mr. Obama an international fraud and people were either duped or willing maniacs circumventing the US Constitution. The easiest way is to smear Americans as Mr. Isikoff does in order to cast the light away from the Constitutional violations Mr. Obama has put into place. Mr. Obama did more than just give Interpol a free reign in America, but he divided up America into 10 dictatorships, placing sitting Governors on this group board to rule America in emergencies. He can not do that as no elected Constitutional officer can serve two posts in state or federal. It is like Obama roulette in wondering which one of these Obama high crimes is going to be the one which brings him down, and Mr. Isikoff is running out of fingers to point in smears and fingers to plug the holes in the Obama leaky dam.

It's not what you say but how you say it. Try it like this: "In 1983 President Ronald Reagan signed Executive Order 12425: By virtue of the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and statutes of the United States, including Section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (59 Stat. 669, 22 U.S.C. 288), it is hereby ordered that the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), in which the United States participates pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 263a, is hereby designated as a public international organization entitled to enjoy the privileges, exemptions and immunities conferred by the International Organizations Immunities Act; except those provided by Section 2(c), the portions of Section 2(d) and Section 3 relating to customs duties and federal internal-revenue importation taxes, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act. This designation is not intended to abridge in any respect the privileges, exemptions or immunities which such organization may have acquired or may acquire by international agreement or by Congressional action. Ronald Reagan This order granted personal diplomatic immunity to INTERPOL agents but did not exempt the property and assets of INTERPOL from search and confiscation or protect their archives from the reach of discovery laws. On Dec. 16, 2009 President Obama amended that order to include these exemptions." This... "An administration and a president who are notoriously indifferent to American sovereignty suddenly decided to free an international police force operating on our soil from the constraints of our law and our Constitution and they have refused to explain why." And this... "Now, the Obama Administration is essentially saying “trust us” as it grants an international police force immunity from American law." ...is just playing on the irrational fears of that segment of the population who believe that this president is seeking to turn over American sovereignty to the UN and a New Socialist World Order. I guess you don't feel that you'll be able to win the nomination in 2012 unless you make some overtures to the fringe. Helluva start. Very cute, Newt.

It’s not what you say but how you say it.

Try it like this:

“In 1983 President Ronald Reagan signed Executive Order 12425:

By virtue of the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and statutes of the United States, including Section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (59 Stat. 669, 22 U.S.C. 288), it is hereby ordered that the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), in which the United States participates pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 263a, is hereby designated as a public international organization entitled to enjoy the privileges, exemptions and immunities conferred by the International Organizations Immunities Act; except those provided by Section 2(c), the portions of Section 2(d) and Section 3 relating to customs duties and federal internal-revenue importation taxes, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act. This designation is not intended to abridge in any respect the privileges, exemptions or immunities which such organization may have acquired or may acquire by international agreement or by Congressional action.

Ronald Reagan

This order granted personal diplomatic immunity to INTERPOL agents but did not exempt the property and assets of INTERPOL from search and confiscation or protect their archives from the reach of discovery laws.

On Dec. 16, 2009 President Obama amended that order to include these exemptions.”

This…
“An administration and a president who are notoriously indifferent to American sovereignty suddenly decided to free an international police force operating on our soil from the constraints of our law and our Constitution and they have refused to explain why.”
And this…
“Now, the Obama Administration is essentially saying “trust us” as it grants an international police force immunity from American law.”
…is just playing on the irrational fears of that segment of the population who believe that this president is seeking to turn over American sovereignty to the UN and a New Socialist World Order.

I guess you don’t feel that you’ll be able to win the nomination in 2012 unless you make some overtures to the fringe.

Helluva start.
