It is our opinion that the administrations use of "Autopen" signatures is the equivalent of a email auto-read receipt. The administration does not take sufficient time to fully review legislation before passing into law. And, therefore, represents a serious threat to our nation's future.
Revelations from the Edward Snowden leaks have shown a devastating lack of oversight. The expansion of the PATRIOT Act is now a clear threat to:
- 4th Amendment Probable Cause & Warrant Requirements
- 5th Amendment Due Process & Self-Incrimination
- 6th Amendment Speedy Trial, Impartial Jury, & Ability Confront Witness
- 9th Amendment Right to Privacy
- 1st Amendment Freedom of Speech, Petition, & Assembly
Request both Legislative & Judicial branches review the constitutionality of "Autopen."
