They passed the bill. If Obama doesn't veto this, you, me, and everyone else in Occupy can be deemed a terrorist, and detained. ///For life///. I don't want to see my fellow friends thrown into a pit because they want to make their grievances heard. ///Fight this///. This is the most important thing we have to fight right now. This is something only we can bring national attention to. Major news outlets wont cover this. We have the manpower to shout about this threat to our human rights.
We fight the good fight. Don't let us be silenced so swiftly and easily.
you are verging on the hysterical.
Is there a provision within that bill that appears ominous? Yes. Does it open the door to bending our judicial system in the direction of Fascism? Yes.
Are we there yet? No. but I would agree it is getting late.
Never the less, I have been saying for some time now:
the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court would look very nice were he attired with a hand axe planted smack dab in the middle of his forehead . . .
I haven't been arrested yet.
You are welcome to check back with me in a few hours to see if that has changed . . .
The possibility for abuse here frightens me as well. The military was established to protect the people from enemies of the state. If the military is allowed to arrest citizens in their own country, then by definition, its citizens have become enemies of the state. This is very dangerous territory.
