$700 Billion Clusterfuck
Maybe, just maybe, a $700 billion gift to the banking industry, unreviewable by any court and designed by the former CEO of Goldman Sachs is a bad idea. Buried in this $700 billion bailout proposal sits this gem:
"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."I swear to god America, if you accept this nonsense, you and I are totally never going bowling again.
I don't care if the media tells you this bailout plan prevents satan himself from smiting your freshly born, doe-eyed child with an ethereal hammer of damnation -- if you're willing to buy into this load of epic horse-shit fed to you by this dysfunctional and corrupt administration, you deserve an eternity of watching German David Hasselhoff concerts with a rhinoceros nibbling at your genitals.

Well, they can put that wording in the act, but it would (or should) be meaningless, as the US Constitution--despite the fact that the Bush administration continues to pretend otherwise--is still the highest law in the land, and its Article Three specifically states that the judicial power extends to the laws of the US.
The question of course is, if such language were to be enacted as law, would the federal courts have the guts to stand up to the administration where the Congress has not?
