Tucson activists get together to celebrate the end of the Bush administration and Michael Chertoff's tenure as Secretary of Homeland Security.
As head of DHS Chertoff used his powers granted to him by Section 102 of the Real ID Act to waive dozens of federal laws in order to build new sections of border fence, ignoring environmental, cultural, economic, and political consequences.
That does feel good to wake up in the morning and know Bush is gone baby gone, and within the few first hours of Prez Obama you hear this kind of news,
" Obama has already begun a series of official acts. His administration has asked for a suspension of Guantanamo trials for detainees so it could review the cases and the procedures. A federal court approved the request this morning.
Obama also ordered federal agencies to freeze any action on federal regulations promulgated in the Bush administration's waning days so that they could be reviewed as well." - LA Times
