This speaks for itself, and it is a shocker to say the least. This is also causing quite a stir in law enforcement circles and constitutional law circles, as to what this new order actually means. Good or bad, I do not think there was enough debate or discussion about if we should have done this or not. Interesting, and let me know what you guys think. –Matt
