those currently being held would have to be released
and that could further expose the indiscretions of our opaque government
Good luck trying to figure out the truth about this one.
What do you mean?
It's impossible to get to the bottom of many issues/events. It's my understanding that McCain/Levin authored the new NDAA. I don't trust either one of them. It's getting to the point where most major events seem staged and we should just file it under the 'X-files'. The NDAA is just a show for the 2 major political parties. The same could be said of the bailout of GM and the recent Chicago teachers strike. We should be thankful that we have OWS, the Arab Spring and even the Tea Party. TPTB have their their illusions and we have ours.
To call a stripping of the constitution an illusion is both dangerous and foolish
I didn't mess with the constitution. If you think someone else did then take it up with them. I don't speak 'lawyer' so if they mess with the constitution I'd never know.
NDAA 1021-31
WOW, Obama is appealing the recent indefinite detention ruling?!
Does this mean that all of us dem shills, and anti dem partisan shill trolls can now join forces and get on with the revolution??
Just wondering
Of course he did, it was his admin that requested that specifically be in there.

The funny thing is VQkag2 just said that since obama is not fighting the ruling that is proof he doesn't support the ndaa. How much do you want to bey obama partisans willfind an excuse for this.
When you put it into law without a veto... you're supporting it.
VQ also thinks Obama was forced into signing the Patriot Act.

Or else obama is working for his corporate masters who want the law in place to supress dissent.
lol Forced into voting for the patriot act too?
How come Barack Obama hasn't told this to the public? Are THEY holding his family for ransom too?
And congress is at fault too of course. But saying "Obama was forced" into signing/voting for this crap... is a bold face lie
[Removed]
You replied to my comment mocking the "Obama was forced to do things we don't like" people. Which included the NDAA and the Patriot Act.
Did Obama have the option to veto? Yes. Did he hold a press conference and say "I am choosing to veto this bill because it contains provisions that are unconstitutional and are a direct violation to the standard of human rights and due process and this congress is corrupt for passing it" ??
No he did not. Obama has actually taken advantage of provisions like these. Am I wrong or did Obama sign for drones killing American citizens in non-battle zones? No charges ever filed. No evidence of crimes ever presented. ACLU is trying to get a day in court but abuse of power is getting it pushed back over and over.
This guy works directly side by side with the pentagon and the CIA and the war profiteers... and the profits don't lie.

lol okay mr excuse maker for indefinite detention laws
Why this then "Lawyers for the Obama administration are arguing that the United States will be irreparably harmed if it has to abide by a judge's ruling that it can no longer hold terrorism suspects indefinitely without trial in military custody."
In regards to 2012 NDAA provisions.
[Removed]
Again you try to divert blame for actions done by this administration.
I know congress is at fault for a majority of problems in the government.... but I'm not blind from mistakes, corruption, and violence that have happened under this administration.

Obama supports a system that wants to put people like me in prison.
No good thing Obama does outweighs that.
There is no excuse for signing indefinite detention laws and using them.
There is no excuse for bombing innocent civilians.
There is no excuse to spy on the American populace.
There is no excuse.
anymore excuses?
[Removed]
this is where you are just being ignorant.
They support laws that put people like me in prison.
1 of 6 people in prison actually.
According to their laws I should be in prison. Luckily I don't do that anymore but I am an advocate to end the war on drugs. Instead we could use the money to put people in college.
bama only reads the scripts off the teleprompter that is written by George Soros. Obama is Soros "little howdy doody" puppet master
Personally I think you would be better off in a "mental institution" rather than prison
Not a valid argument. What if a bill came along that had a bunch of wonderful things in it but took away your right to free speech? Is that acceptable? No....these are foundational principles of this country that shouldn't negotiated with...no matter how good the "other" benefits of the bill are.
Well said. The Fifth Amendment says that no person shall "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law". That is exactly what Section 1021 does.
I agree 100%

Why is it that when bush violated our rights you get angry, rightfully so, but when obama doubles down on the violations you go to great trouble making excuses for him.
[Removed]
I was a couple years out of high school and to my regret wasn't worried about politics until I saw history repeating itself with the republicans went crazy in 2010. I'm sorry if I jumped to a false conclusion. I also thought obama was our only hope until OWS made me check my assumptions and I started to notice things I didn't see because cable news is a joke. When obama signed the ndaa and said he wouldn't use it's power that proved he knew what he was signing. That is unforgivable and I realized obama is as bad as bush because they both work for the same people.
the military industrial complex
"I don't care who you elect to office - they would have signed that bill."
No way...not buying that at all. If you're talking about Mccain and Obama...then yes you're right....the two clowns put forth by the major institutions everyone hates here so much. There are plenty of people if elected would have vetoed that no question though. Example on both sides....Ron Paul and Kucinich
VQgag knows that's a lie and he's been repeating it for months - after the motion for reconsideration of the initial ruling, and after he filed the appeal of the temporary injunction, so I would imagine he'll keep lying now. (Unless by "fighting it" he means Obama hasn't put the plaintiffs on his kill list yet and is just defending it in court.
exactly
Let me save the Obamabots some time: "You sound like an anti-Dem partisan" "The Republicans made him do it" "Bush started it" "It's Nader's fault" blah blah blah.
No fair...I wanted to hear him say it.
I'll put it in a context that is probably foreign to you.
When a president makes a decision, what do you believe gets more weight; the interests of the nation, the office of the Presidency, or the political fallout from the decision?
I would hope the latter would get the least weight, and weight would ascend from right to left.
I don't look at the political progression as a good and evil plight but rather see it as action and reaction, cause then effect.
Although I don't believe Obama is doing enough to keep such a power out of the hand of the executive, i'm more hung up on why the Congress gave the Presidency such power.
Shouldn't their actions be electorally campaigned against, more so than the President?
This is a defiant movement that knows that there will be no systemic coming from the voting booth any time soon. The office of the Presidency has been corrupted
And what the fuck is an anti Dem partisan?!!
Where did this freak of a poster come from?!!! hahahaha
