It looks as if he's at it again...Barack Obama has signed an executive order to allow the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) unprecedented freedom of operation within the United States.
Former assistant United States attorney Andy McCarthy says in his article at National Review Online that, "This international police force (whose U.S. headquarters is in the Justice Department in Washington) will be unrestrained by the U.S. Constitution and American law while it operates in the United States and affects both Americans and American interests outside the United States."
No president should be able to sign away our Constitutional protections or U.S sovereignty through executive order. This order should be rescinded immediately and a Congressional investigation should be undertaken to get to the bottom of the motives behind this move.
Mr. McCarthy asks some very important questions: "Why would we elevate an international police force above American law? Why would we immunize an international police force from the limitations that constrain the FBI and other American law-enforcement agencies? Why is it suddenly necessary to have, within the Justice Department, a repository for stashing government files which, therefore, will be beyond the ability of Congress, American law-enforcement, the media, and the American people to scrutinize?"
