We Don't Need No Stinkin' Constitution!
Section 8 of Paulson's Wall Street Bailout:
Oversight? Balance of powers? Who needs that?
We're in the middle of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression and the Bush Administration is making another power play. You'd think Congress would have learned when they abdicated their Constitutional duty to determine when to declare war. Now they're going to create a position that will be completely non-accountable to anyone?
Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.
