What concerns me is the fact that an Amendment is being proposed to “exempt” U.S. Citizens on U.S. Soil from this Bill:

“But there is a way to stop this dangerous legislation. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) is offering the Udall Amendment that will delete the harmful provisions and replace them with a requirement for an orderly Congressional review of detention power. The Udall Amendment will make sure that the bill matches up with American values.

In support of this harmful bill, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) explained that the bill will “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield” and people can be imprisoned without charge or trial “American citizen or not.” Another supporter, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) also declared that the bill is needed because “America is part of the battlefield.”

1. If the Legislation is so dangerous, why pass it in the first place?
2. How are we supposed to read the 678 page pdf and decipher the entire thing in the few days provided to form an opinion?

...smells bad. Does not pass the “stink” test of common sense.
