Scary

Obama just legislated (executive order) that Interpol does not have to abide by any of the United States policing laws and can police in America......(search and seizure, etc.)  This is REALLY SCARY stuff.  Can we all March on Washington or do SOMETHING?
Here is a quote from the Washington Post:
"Obama has granted Interpol the ability to operate within the territorial limits of the United States without being subject to the same constitutional restraints that apply to all domestic law enforcement agencies such as the FBI. Second, Obama has exempted Interpol's domestic facilities -- including its office within the U.S. Department of Justice -- from search and seizure by U.S. authorities and from disclosure of archived documents in response to Freedom of Information Act requests filed by U.S. citizens. Think very carefully about what you just read: Obama has given an international law enforcement organization that is accountable to no other national authority the ability to operate as it pleases within our own borders, and he has freed it from the most basic measure of official transparency and accountability, the FOIA".

Ummm, why didn't this cause an outrage??? I hate how we hear these things after they are already done, and it's impossibly hard to have them undone. I just hope if Interpol ever comes knocking at my door that I'm either 1)not home or 2)still have the right to bear arms to protect myself and my family.
