[225for70]

I don't think Obama can sign the patriot act with this birth certificate.

This is comical.  I have been asking people on this board for about four years what part of the Patriot Act they have a problem with and have yet to get a reasonable, coherent response. 

What part do you have a problem with and why? 

Whats comical is that you expect anyone to believe that you read the thing and that's when this discussion stops.

lol.  Hey it's o.k.  If you read the board you will see a very clear pattern with people who are unable discuss issues without getting all worked up.  Disagree with them, or ask a few questions, and they start acting like toddlers.  Pretty funny.   

And yes, keep fighting for "the republic" and my "freedom," by complaining about laws you haven't read. 

Wait, how exactly are you fighting for "the republic" and my "freedom"?

I once confronted you with evidence about put option contracts on the airline stocks in the days before 9/11..That was an indication that someone knew something...

Your response was, purely 100% retarded..Even when the statement is regarded as 100% fact by the securities industry

LOL!  Yes, you really confounded me. 

No offense to you Beachbum for serving our country..However, How do you explain the massive amount of Put options on the airlines stocks? The options market for airline stocks wasn't exactly the most liquid market...All the sudden put option huge volume spikes in the week before the attack? The put/call ratio for United Airlines was 25 times above normal on September 6. 4...That's fucking insane..

Put options are basically bets that the stock price of an underlying company stock will decline in value. It's a zero sum bet essentially.

Assuming that is true, why do I need to explain it?

Rep. Graves questions Obama's autopen signing of Patriot Act extension
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/163683-gop-rep-questions-obamas-use-of-autopen-in-signing-patriot-act

Rep. Tom Graves (R-Ga.) is questioning President Obama's use of an autopen in signing an extension of the Patriot Act.

In a letter Friday, Graves asks Obama to confirm that he saw the law prior to its autopen signing.

"Mr. President, I write to request your confirmation that S. 990, as passed by Congress, was presented to you prior to the autopen signing, as well as a detailed, written explanation of your Constitutional authority to assign a surrogate the responsibility of signing bills passed into law," Graves wrote.






 

Obama signed the bill into law late Thursday night. The autopen was used because the president was in France, meeting with G8 leaders, and the bill's provisions expired at midnight.

Graves cited Article 1 Section 7 of the Constitution, which says that the president must sign a bill to approve it into law.

"Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it," the article reads.
