He's talking about the National Defense Authorization Act
A related provision would create a federal statute saying the government has the legal authority to keep people suspected of terrorism in military custody, indefinitely and without trial. It contains no exception for American citizens. It is intended to bolster the authorization to use military force against the perpetrators of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, which lawmakers enacted a decade ago.Comment

Does the law apply to people within the borders of the US? Because if it does there probably isn't a single federal judge who would consider it constitutional.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Wow. That's even worse than our rule which allows detention for 28 days in similar circumstances.

Don't you find it somewhat scary though that your elected representatives just voted to give away your freedom, leaving it to either Obama to veto or to unelected judges to overturn that decision? I'm not even being partisan here either, as it was a bipartisan vote in favour.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostComment

Congress has been passing unconstitutional laws since John Adams was president. The Supreme Court generally does a good job of overturning them. It does not concern me very much.
Consider: We used to have legal slavery in this country. You used to be able to own another person. The United States today is less of a police state than it used to be, not more.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Funny how when its 2nd amendment stuff, people are happy to scream and shout about protection from tyranny, and yet when tyranny is introduced openly via congress hardly anyone has a problem with it. Sad..Comment

I don't know why, but I'm mildly amused that you are using early-19th century American standards on slavery as a benchmark for whether current freedoms are being eroded.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostOne day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

It passed (on the anniversary of the Bill of Rights

Better hope the Supreme Court that brought you Citizens United is now going to suddenly start protecting you again.Comment
