P.S. How about we fingerprint Obama and see what pops-up?

What a country! Illegals don’t have to prove anything, but legal citizens are to be fingerprinted so the gubmint can keep track of them. If you are ever pulled over for speeding, just say you NO HABLA INGLES and MI NOMBRE ES JUAN GARCIA. If taken to jail, demand a lawyer, and don’t say a word.

The licensing system creates a database that banking regulators can use to track down mortgage brokers or lenders who try to work in one state after being banned in another.

This was part of The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.
House 241 Ayes, 172 Nays
Senate 84 Ayes, 12 Nays
Mr. Bush signed it into law July 30, 2008.

So there’s that.

Let’s run a check on every Congress critter, their staffers, and every other ass-ociated bureaucrat along the way fagettabout the mortgage brokers they were only playing the hand that the Feds dealt them … ditto on the banks – sorta hard to tell a bum he’s a bum when you got the Feds muscling in on you.

Funny how the Left whined about Bush shredding the Constitution, yet, this is a blatant violation of the 4th and 5th amendments. These are private citizens engaged in lawful conduct. I hope they sue the crap out of Obama and Co. They have the money to do it.

Shouldn’t they be fingerprinting (and tossing in jail) the two main culprits that caused this mortgage crisis debacle in the first place – Chris Dodd and Barney Frank?

Obama and his gang are making a mockery of our Constitution.

Mockery? I wouldn’t say mockery. After all, they don’t even believe in The Constitution.

For eight years we heard nothing but complaints and fears from the Left about what Bush might do to the Constitution, and how they imagined all sorts of violations. None of which came true, or ever happened.

Yet the very nature of this President alone is a thumbing of the nose to The Constitution and he has been destroying it ever since taking the oath. Violation after violation goes on, and it is applauded by the Left. Our rights and freedoms are being taken away on a daily basis, our sovereignty destroyed, our military abandoned, and it is being done to the applause of the Left. Everything they were afraid bush would do, Obama either has done or has plans to do, and none of them care.

Mockery? No. There are other, far more fitting words than mockery.

WTF? What are they supposed to do with this information? Run fingerprint analyses of faulty mortgages so they can see who originated them?

Prolly used to track down illegal aliens to see if their civil rights were violated when they offered their Matricula Consular card as ID for their taxpayer backed mortgage.

They’ve had it for us stock brokers for an eternity. Every time I do anything I have to submit my fingerprints.

Refuse. Tell them to take a hike. They can’t arrest all of you.
