Administrative law is the law which transfers authority to government agencies, committees, and licensing boards inorder to regulate most of the day to day activities of the average citizen. They have the full power to adjudicate and prosecute a citizen that the civil and criminal courts, without any of the restraints applied to those courts as granted to us in the U.S. Constitution and our Bill of Rights. It is the largest loophole in our "democratic rights." It is Constitutionally illegal, but only the very rich and the very powerful, on a case by case basis can unbury themselves with enough cash to get to a Federal Court. This gross outsoucing of the law escelated in the 1980's and has slithered into our lives and the number of sanctions issued by Administrative law agencies has grown 47% between 1990 and 2001. It is now 2009 and the rate of uncontrolled unconstitutional sanctions has maintained its rate of increase (2001 Adams). Agency employees are evaluated on the basis of the number of sucessful prosecutions.
WHAT RIGHTS ARE YOU STRIPPED OF:
.Please write the President Oboma and ask this professor of Constitutional Law to withold support and Federal participation to any Administrative agency which does not impliment the above forms of due process and seperation of powers. Ask that the Federal Government create case law which establishes Federal standards for Administrative Law.

Dare I challenge you on any type of white vs. black issue that arise? Yes, and I charge you with a white-collar crime, too. “White-Collar Crime is the art of deliberate deception for unlawful gain.”
And yet you exert that you are the privilege one that has the right to challenge any type of white vs. black issue because you feel justified in calling and yelling out reverse discrimination. Give me a Break.
No, you dare not give me a break or dare to side with me because I’m black and in the public arena that commands that I take the hit.
So you dare that I challenge you on the deficit and the healthcare reform because you feel justified in sounding the black vs. white and the poor vs. middle class and the “are you really qualified to be President” issues.
I am just so outraged at how these loud mouth Naysayers folks believe that they are the chosen one belonging to the Privilege class that they have the audacity to pick at, stir up trouble and delay progress in the making along with creating a deliberate deception and falsehood for unlawful gain.
Dare I challenge them to continue their antics of disruption just as they have done to disrupt the Congress work in the past like they did to make a mole hill out of nothing with the O.J. chase through the streets in California, like they did with the Mayor Barry smoking dope, like they did with the Jeffrey Damer, like they did with the Anita Hill and Judge, like they did with the Michael Jackson child abuse case, the Monica Lewinski & President and just as they are trying to do with the Senators and Sara Palin today and that is stir this economy and drain all its resources and steal our tax payer dollars.
Like vultures this Arrogant Naysayer and self-proclaimed Privilege folk feels untouchable and blemish free to stall progress in any way. I dare not challenge these Hater-Vultures to stop running up the deficit with those same antics they used in the past. They run up the deficit and create re-work for so many of us that we don’t realize it and can’t see their blows coming.
Yes, I challenge the loud mouth wanna be seen and heard Naysayer to stop running up the deficit with his big gun cameras, newspapers, TV. and radio shows to make the police, investigators, guards, Secret Service, FBI, Lawyers, Politicians, Secretaries, air and ground transportations and all of us Citizens go left versus right. We need to put a muzzle on these Naysayers who cause us to spend our dollars unnecessarily as they did in the Monica Lewinsky and Michael Jackson cases.
Unfortunately, we Citizens are citizens that the Naysayers think that they can take advantage of and distract us from the real issues. It is unfortunate that these Naysayers feel that they are privilege to make up an issue that takes millions of dollars to resolve and file away.
It is Unfortunate that we Citizens allow these Naysayers to run up the deficit more than it normally would run if there were no such issue to arise.
I charge that these loud mouth Naysayers are in violation of a white collar crime called Mass Marketing Fraud, Public Corruption and Government Fraud where because they caused our government budget to be depleted unnecessarily and irresponsibly and unbeknownst to we Citizens. Our government dollars have been diverted time and time again to pay astronomical bills for security, lawyers, accountants, police officers, writers. This diversion cost us time and money.
Therefore, you loud mouth Naysayers are charged with three counts of fraud and disruption of justice and interruption of progress, and Abuse of Power; all white-collar crimes.
As taken from B-Net Business Library on the web below; search White Collar Crime:
“Several channels have contributed to combating economic and high-tech crime:
Independent corporations and private-sector industry coalitions. As a result of limited law enforcement resources, corporations on their own or in cooperation with industry coalitions, such as BITS, the technology group for the Financial Services Roundtable, have had to initiate strategic economic crime-management plans and investigative groups. There is a growing level of frustration among these corporations, because the monetary thresholds for law enforcement even to investigate a case, let alone prosecute, can be very high, depending on the jurisdiction. Coupled with this is increased legislation requiting corporations to institute anti-fraud programs and compliance departments. While protection of corporate assets and their consumers should be their responsibility, there are several consequences to this arrangement. Many economic crimes go unreported; fewer prosecutions of these offenses occur; and perpetrators tend to be fired rather than prosecuted, leaving them free to move on to another organization and continue their victimizing.” END BNET.
In the above paragraph, I can see that this exercise of freedom of speech is over used and abused. I’m reporting that an economic crime has been committed even for the business that employs these Naysayers. The Marshall Law on this type of abuse for overly using freedom of speech needs to be monitored. I’m not saying you can’t say what you say, I’m saying you should not be allowed to stir unnecessary and unreal and bogus propaganda to cause an unnecessary expense on taxpayer dollars.
In this case scenario, a reasonable prudent citizen with sound mind and judgment can look at the Rodney King beating tape to see Abuse of Power and declare and react that those policemen were acting as a terrorist group and call them bullies, a gang in uniform or whatever they felt.
In this case scenario, a reasonable prudent citizen with sound mind and judgment can look at another police incident and call that policeman stupid or an arrogant son-of-a-bitch.
This reaction by a reasonable prudent citizen doesn’t give you the right to Abuse Power by locking up a home owner or crying wolf to cause my tax dollars to be spent to re-investigate whether my President is an American.
This boy crying wolf number three is really asking to be reprimanded for abusing his freedom of speech rights. I think we Citizens are getting real tired of these boys crying wolf over and over and over again to cause our tax dollars be spent unnecessary to run up the deficit that was already toppled over from the last Republican Administration just 8 months ago.
Amazing what you can do in your first 20 months. So this is "executive experience":
After being found guilty of abusing her power as governor in the so-called "troopergate" scandal over the firing of her ex-brother-in-law, Palin now faces a second probe over whether she violated ethics rules in the affair.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20081023/ts_alt_afp/usvoterepublicanpalin;_ylt=AjHwJaaTvU1BFlwxM6rTMFus0NUE
The Troopergate probe was launched after a unanimous vote by 8 Republicans and 4 Democrats.
Obama does not look to Ayers for advice. His advisors and supporters include Nobel Prize winners (62 scientists in a recent public letter); investors and business people, such as Warren Buffett; former SEC chairs; two-thirds of professional economists recently polled; admirals; generals; and the overwhelming majority of soldiers in Iraq who have made political donations.
The McCain/Palin campaign wants to 'turn the page' away from the issues that matter to people's lives. The guilt by association charge on Obama is without merit. Let's consider the associations of John McCain that are relevant to the current financial crisis and to character and honor. McCain was reprimanded by the Senate for poor judgment in asking government regulators to withdraw from examination of his friend and supporter Charles Keating, who went to jail for fraud in the savings and loan crisis. McCain did not associate with Keating 30 years after Keating's crimes; he was part of the crimes.
McCain is indifferent to the impropriety of having paid lobbyists on his campaign staff, including his campaign manager, who received money from a company hired by Fannie Mae until a few weeks ago. McCain has been silent on the decision by the Alaskan legislature that Sarah Palin abused her power. During the last debate, McCain repudiated the “fringe” calling Obama a terrorist. But he allows robo-calls to carry this same message. These charges against McCain are true and important. Voters, pay attention to what matters.
Here's a woman who needs to be put out of her misery and sent home. She's got a pregnant teenage daughter, a young infant baby with Downs syndrome, and several outstanding charges against her as governor, including the abuse of power rub and an $800m lawsuit from Exxon re: a pipeline contract dispute.
Sarah, I'm a woman and if you were a man, I'd tell you the same thing: You need to go home and tend to your personal and family issues, AND the state you were elected to run as governor. You have no time to be president or vice president of this country, and you are not capable of handling it even if you did have time.
Truthfully, I have a feeling that what's his name has thrown in the white flag of surrender on this election...he picked a poor choice for a running mate because no one wanted to inherit Bush's legacy alongside him, then he runs one of the most negative and dirty campaigns since Bush took him out for supposedly having a black child "out of wedlock." Then to top that off, his staff keeps walking out, Republicans keep converting or saying they want nothing to do with this election at all, the RNC was nearly a total disaster after it got hit with the very floods that they prayed on the DNC, then he goes to Ohio and tells the workers there that he can't stop a train wreck that he approved to send their jobs to a foreign country (now would be a good time for Obama to talk about NAFTA)...THEN HE PUTS THE ICING ON THE CAKE, and threatens the Sunshine State - with its 3.2 million retirees, of which I will be one of them in about 15-20 years - that he is going to cut off their Medicare, as well as he pulls out of Michigan and gets criticized by his own "too late" running mate for doing it. If Obama and Biden are not having some incredibly god-given good luck right now, I don't know what else they'd want to call it.
McCain may as well have threatened to cut off their social security AND any SSI benefits they made be receiving, said "f" you and I don't care if you have to live on the streets and die.
The banana state that hangs off the east coast all alone is FILLED with retirees who have worked all of their lives and not made anywhere NEAR the $5 million a year that McCain requires in order NOT to be considered "middle class." Then, he tells them OUT LOUD that he's going to pull the plug on the little they do have -- in a nation that spends $850 BILLION to bail out thieving CEOs and sends more than $80 BILLION to a nation that it raped and ravaged, which now has its own surplus funds?
Yeah - you betcha, say it ain't so, Joe Sixpack!
McCain is handing this election over to Obama for what reason? (Because I know he isn't stupid enough to make the mistakes he is making and still really want to be President. I realize he's out of touch, but so out of touch that he's just rank crazy? Say it ain't so John: Maybe you've changed your mind and don't want the job after all because "You can't be that stupid!" You are making this easy for the Obama staff and they were so looking forward to a real fight!)
[Especially with that Ayers stuff that happened when Obama was a kid, to a man who was acquitted and whom Obama had nothing to do with at the time; while you and Palin are guilty of consorting with, conspiring with, admiring and giving smiling and nodding approval to terrorists--abortion clinic bombers and state secessionists who hate this country--as full grown responsible adults who were in politics when you did it?! Man, that was going to be a party just taking you out on that one alone!]
Deep inside I think McCain likely knows Obama would make a better president, but he can't just toss in the reins after so much time and energy and money, to the tune of millions, has been spent on keeping the rich in their positions of power while they screw over the rest of us. They don't want that.
Heaven forbid the nation should be made fair for everybody and the American citizens given their lives and homes and jobs back and that damn stupid ass war ended because the real terrorists live here and they ain't Muslim, Islam NOR do they live in Iraq ... [http://www.alternet.org/asoldierspeaks/102352/].
God forbid America is actually big enough and "godly" enough to admit it made a horrible mistake in attacking those people and ask their forgiveness and work to right the wrongs so that God can bring us all peace again. Maybe not pre-911 peace, since Bush has been so instrumental in tripling the numer of terrorists out there BEFORE 9/11; but the kind of peace we should have had before Iraq was wrongfully attacked for no good reason.
People keep asking, well what if old John has a heart attack and God forbid something happens to Obama...which one of them there veeps is going to make a better president? Palin or Biden? Let's be honest and quit playing "gotcha" games with the obvious answer.
We most certainly cannot, will not, should not, turn this country over to the likes of Sarah Palin. Not now. Not in the future. Not ever. Her rising to the office of president if McCain got elected and something happened to him is NOT an option, at least not a viable one. That episode should call for an immediate recall or impeachment or whatever they do in Washington and call in the reinforcements to bring Hillary Clinton back if Palin gets in the Oval Office hot seat.
We've gotten used to George Bu//Sh** being President now...better him than her, for that matter.
NY Times Article:
Gov. Sarah Palin abused the powers of her office by pressuring subordinates to try to get her former brother-in-law, a state trooper, fired, an investigation by the Alaska Legislature has concluded. The inquiry found, however, that she was within her right to dismiss her public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, who was the trooper’s boss.
In the tradition of the Karl Rove Friday Evening News Dump, Palin's office released the deposition of the state employees interviewed in the State report on Troopergrate tonight:

I guess Palin is very much like Bush/Cheney in their abuse of Executive power!
Dave
Forget about linking John McCain to George Bush. Barack Obama would benefit from telling Americans that Sarah Palin is every bit as vacuous and unskilled as President Dubya ever was, and she's equally evasive of the media.
I'm shocked by the lack of confidence McCain continues to have in his insulting and dangerous choice of Sarah Palin. Aside from her abuse of power by intervening in personnel matters in Alaska, the blatant lie about opposing the "bridge-to-nowhere," and her laughable claim to be against congressional earmarks when Alaska is the leading per-capita recipient of those very same congressional funds, why don't we hear more from this co-maverick of his?
If Palin is ready on day one to be a heartbeat away from the most powerful job in the world, then why quarantine her from reporters while sending her out speaking the same stump speech on teleprompter she gave at the convention? I could hazard an intelligent guess, but there's clearly no need to discuss that or any pressing, relevant issues now that McCain has a token, pandering ploy of a runningmate. Who cares if she's competent when she excites the base (particularly the men) and values the "culture of life"--except of course the life of animals she wears around her neck and those she "field-dresses" for a novel snack (moose stew, for the record, is the puppy chow of choice for this self-described pit bull). I have a friend who is an Emmy-winning actor on a long-running daytime soap opera. He said yesterday that he was still dumbfounded he has "given more interviews to the press than Sarah Palin." Isn't this the woman that, if elected, could be one second away from having her trigger-finger on 'The Button?' With less than two months left until the election, don't Americans deserve and need to know where McCain's number two stands on the issues that really matter in our everyday lives? Not likely, it seems, since campagin manager Rick Davis admitted two weeks ago this campaign wouldn't be about issues, it would be about personalities. Hmm. Well, the problem with running a campaign on personality is twofold: a) McCain doesn't seem to have much of one without Palin; and b) the person-we'd-rather-have-a-beer with already had a crack at running the country and it didn't turn out so well, remember? For for all his good-ol' boy charm--never mind he was the very New England born, silver-spooned, prep-school, Ivy League elitist he likes to mock--and despite his [apparently] endearing inability to formulate two thoughts into a coherent sentence, these last eight years have been so disastrous to our economy, military and global credibility that we will be spending the next eight years just starting to clean up the mess. And although he loved Jesus, guns, and white people and appealed to the fundamentalist base, he's still not appealing--even when disguised in a skirt and lipstick with a Cracker-Barrell updo.
By MATT VOLZ, Associated Press Writer
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's husband has refused to testify in the investigation of his wife's alleged abuse of power, and key lawmakers said Thursday that uncooperative witnesses are effectively sidetracking the probe until after Election Day.
Todd Palin, who participates in state business in person or by e-mail, was among 13 people subpoenaed by the Alaska Legislature. Palin's lawyer sent a letter to the lead investigator saying Palin objected to the probe and would not appear to testify on Friday.
"The objections boil down to the fact that the Legislative Council investigation is no longer a legitimate investigation because it has been subjected to complete partisanship and does not operate with the authority that it had at the time of its initial authorization," McCain-Palin presidential campaign spokesman Ed O'Callaghan said.
Sarah Palin initially welcomed the bipartisan investigation into accusations that she dismissed the state's public safety commissioner because he refused to fire her ex-brother-in-law, a state trooper. "Hold me accountable," she said.
But she has increasingly opposed it since Republican presidential candidate John McCain tapped her as his running mate. The McCain campaign dispatched a legal team to Alaska including O'Callaghan, a former top U.S. terrorism prosecutor from New York to bolster Palin's local lawyer.
In the letter, Palin attorney Thomas Van Flein lists nine objections to the Legislature's investigation into Gov. Palin. Van Flein also argues the subpoena is "unduly burdensome" because Palin has travel plans that require him to be out of the state.
Earlier this week, Alaska Attorney General Talis Colberg said the governor, who was not subpoenaed, declined to participate in the investigation and said Palin administration employees who have been subpoenaed would not appear.
State Sen. Bill Wielechowski, a Democrat, said the McCain campaign is doing all it can to prevent the Legislature from completing a report on whether the GOP's vice presidential nominee abused her power as governor.
Wielechowski and another member of the panel that summoned the witnesses, told The Associated Press that the witnesses can avoid testifying for months without penalty and that court action to force them to appear sooner is unlikely.
Republican Sen. Gene Therriault agreed with Wielechowski's analysis.
"If we had turned the rhetoric down and turned the pressure down to do some things we might have gotten voluntary cooperation," said Therriault, who opposed the subpoenas.
The McCain-Palin campaign said Thursday that Gov. Palin is cooperating with a separate Alaska State Personnel Board investigation into Troopergate. Palin initiated that investigation after she joined McCain's ticket. The three-member board is appointed by the governor.
"I can't say it enough, the governor is an open book on this matter," McCain spokeswoman Meg Stapleton said. "She is fully cooperating with the unbiased, legally appropriate and independent investigation of the State Personnel Board."
Palin fired Walt Monegan in July. It later emerged that Palin, her husband, Todd, and several high-level staffers had contacted Monegan about state trooper Mike Wooten. Palin maintains she fired Monegan over budget disagreements, not because he wouldn't dismiss her former brother-in-law.
Wooten had gone through a nasty divorce from Palin's sister before Palin became governor. While Monegan says no one from the administration ever told him directly to fire Wooten, he says their repeated contacts made it clear they wanted Wooten gone.
Alaska Senate President Lyda Green, a Republican foe of Palin, said Wednesday that the investigation is still on track.
"The original purpose of the investigation was to bring out the truth. Nothing has changed," she said.
Without the testimony, the retired prosecutor hired to head the investigation could still release a report in October as scheduled, based on the evidence he's already gathered. As of Thursday, Steven Branchflower had interviewed or deposed 17 of the 33 people he had identified as potential witnesses in the probe.
The Legislature does not have the leverage to compel any witness to testify before Nov. 4, said Wielechowski, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Wielechowski said he did not know whether Branchflower has enough material for a complete and fair report with so few witnesses. But he said delaying the probe would only politicize the matter more.
"It would be to appease the McCain camp," Wielechowski said. "They're doing everything they can to delay."
Ignoring a legislative subpoena is punishable by a fine up to $500 and up to six months in jail under Alaska law. But courts are reluctant to intervene in legislative matters and the full Legislature must be in session to bring contempt charges, Wielechowski said. The Legislature is not scheduled to convene until January.

The problem is less McCain and more Palin ...
I am amused about the reaction of Gov. Palin and her allies with regard to the state house inquiry into the firing of public service commissioner Monegan.
Filing the suit to stop the inquiry is saying more about Palin and the people filing the suit than about the ones being sued.
It say's in no uncertain words that Sarah Palin has something to hide, that her conduct cannot withstand public scrutiny, that in her short term in public office she has already abused the powers of that office.
What do you think?
Why We Wish The Clintons Would Just Go Away
By Paul Jenkins
Posted December 15, 2007 | 11:49 AM (EST)
Because they surround themselves with people like Mark Penn and James Carville (Rove-like figures, just dumber and more duplicitous than Karl), and rather than making the Clintons look pure by contrast, they make them look even sleazier.
Because they lie more often than they tell the truth, and we can't take it anymore (where to begin? Ah, perhaps, one of Bill's freshest: he was always against the war in Iraq).
Because when they don't lie, they avoid telling the truth, prevaricate and try to laugh it off.

The New York Times is reporting:
The Justice Department asked the House Intelligence Committee on Friday to postpone its investigation into the destruction of videotapes by the Central Intelligence Agency in 2005, saying the Congressional inquiry presented “significant risks” to its own preliminary investigation into the matter. The department is taking an even harder line with other Congressional committees looking into the matter, and is refusing to provide information about any role it might have played in the destruction of the videotapes. The recordings covered hundreds of hours of interrogations of two operatives of Al Qaeda. The Justice Department and the C.I.A.’s inspector general have begun a preliminary inquiry into the destruction of the tapes, and Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey said the department would not comply with Congressional requests for information now because of “our interest in avoiding any perception that our law enforcement decisions are subject to political influence.”

Mukasey said the department would not comply with Congressional requests for information now because of “our interest in avoiding any perception that our law enforcement decisions are subject to political influence.”
The request is a shocking attack on Constitutional checks and balances and demonstrates the wholesale incapacity of the new attorney general to reform the politically corrupted department or to hold those in power accountable for outrages against the rule of law.
We need to be very clear about this point: the rule of law is democracy, and it means that the people have, at any time, the right to hold their elected officials accountable for crimes committed in the name of power. If we tolerate a system where the head of a department refuses to reveal information about whether his department was complicit in a crime against the constitutional system, then that system is eroded and we are less free.
The only responsible course of action at the present moment is:
1) demand that the AG recuse himself from all investigations into this matter, as he has just shown himself willing to obstruct a Constitutionally-sanctioned oversight process and to aid the accused in potentially escaping responsibility for crimes against the Constitution, international law, and the judicial system;
2) appoint a special counsel with full subpoena authority and urge that all evidence gathered through sworn Congressional testimony be included as basis for further warrants and subpoenas issued to those who may have participated in the tapes' destruction, including individual agents, directors, White House officials and any or all members of Justice who saw reference to this material pass their desk;
3) immediately begin to examine intra-executive communications to see what sort of contact may have motivated this request by the Justice Dept. that a major criminal probe by a House committee be abandoned, while it gathers resources for its own ends, not clearly stated, and refuses to cooperate with Congressional probes;
4) hold major policy speech reminding all members of government and the American people that the nation's freedom depends first and foremost on the rule of law and that no official is above the law, not CIA agents, not the president and that the attorney general does not have the right to order Congress not to seek evidence in its oversight capacity...
5) schedule a deadline, after which Congress will publish the full contents of its investigations, naming those suspected of wrongdoing and pressing for more vigorous prosecution of crimes by federal officials;
6) propose, debate and push to passage a new law specifying no activity of any kind which is found to have been conducted beyond the scope of the law can be concealed on the grounds of 'national security', 'executive privilege' or the pernicious totalitarian concept founded on the arbitrary exercise of power by the British monarchy referred to as 'state secrets'...
7) seek passage of a federal law establishing that the extremist concept of a 'unitary executive' is fundamentally opposed to the US Constitution and that attempts to consolidate executive power and diminish checks and balances will be treated as actions against the integrity of the Constitutional system; part of this will be to force Pres. Bush to take a stand by signing into law this rejection of the unitary executive concept, which has so often been used to argue for wildly expanded executive powers under his administration, and ensure that with passage of this law, the full exposition of all attempts to dismantle Constitutional checks and balances will be made in the white hot light of the public gaze.
We are facing a wave of entrenched, deeply rooted, well-organized and well-funded campaigns, on various fronts, to establlish the near total impunity of the executive branch of government. The ideals of democracy require that we meet this assault with democratic measures: new law, open debate on the validity of totalitarian measures within a democratic system, and prosecution of ALL crimes committed by federal agents.
We have fallen outside of the rationale of our legal system when no criminal probe is initiated against federal officials until Congress first makes a feeble request that the Dept. of Justice (which is not judge or jury) investigate "whether a crime has been committed". That is a ridiculous stand-in for real due process, and an excuse to aid those who abuse their office in escaping punishment.
