Senate Votes To Let Military Detain Americans Indefinitely, White House Threatens Veto

Thanks, I saw it. Makes me sick to my stomach. And what do we get from the so-called "Conservative Constitutionalists" here? "Ooooo the ACLU isn't believable" Well I wish that there was a Conservative version of the ACLU that gives a damn about our Constitutional rights, but there isn't -- just a loud chorus of bitching AFTER those rights have floated down the river.

Rand Paul is the only Senator who seems to give a damn

The military SHOULD be able to take down terrorists or combat teams infiltrated into the US. How do you write a law in such a way that it gives authority to do ONLY that?

That is why we have Sheriff's Offices, police departments and National Guard.

I agree about the National Guard.

However, if you read the Posse Comitatus act, it does not preclude the military from being used for military operations.

It prevents them from being involved in police operations.

So, I did not need to worry about it being carefully written to cover military necessity. It already does that.

In other words, if the Iranian Special Forces drops a killer team into the US, then our SpecOps is more than authorized to hunt them down. In fact, they are probably the only one with the weaponry to do so.

And don't forget John McCain in this, who helped craft this behind closed doors. Obama already says that he is going to veto it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but looking at the long game, it's almost as though Graham and McCain are giving Obama a chance to be "the hero" here by vetoing it. By the time that people figure it out and tensions rise over it, Obama will swoop in to "save our Constitutional Rights". Why would they do that? Because McCain and Graham have more power with Obama in office than they would with a Republican president in office. Could it be that they are preserving their own personal political power at our expense? Nah...

"You have nothing to fear from Barrack Obama", John McCain 2008.

Apparently true. I read page 362 and see the exclusions.
