Obama ACTAs Out
Let me get this straight; Obama got up on his bully pulpit and decried Congress’ efforts to defend American intellectual property from foreign pirates and thieves via SOPA and PIPA but quietly entered into an unconstitutional and illegal “executive agreement” with foreign powers to do the same thing through the much less finely targeted ACTA treaty?
So what, pray tell, was Obama’s problem with SOPA and PIPA bills that the House and Senate were considering?
Was he worried that Congress passing a law on the matter would provide empirical proof that he had once again illegally and unconstitutionally overstepped his law authority as POTUS by unilaterally undermining America’s sovereignty?
Or was this just another case of “crocodile tears” and false angst on the Campaigner-in-Chief’s part since he could “safely” attack SOPA and PIPA to bolster his waning support from the Left?
