BAILOUT - A Claim Beyond ALL Limits

0 votes

I just received Bill Buckler's The Privateer and this is important:
"IN SECTION 8 of the Treasurer's bailout proposal, there is a claim to unlimited powers. We quote it: "Decisions by the Secretary (of Treasury) 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." If the US Congress signs for this clause, it has abdicated its Constitutional responsibilities. It will also have placed the US Treasury beyond the reach of the courts. Congress will have done this by an act of legislation enacted by itself! That is abdication.

The US Treasurer, Mr. Paulson, will get an unlimited discretion. He could act as he pleases and would become a law unto himself, his decisions being "non-reviewable". So ends the rule of law in the USA".
