I have seen other where this has been discussed and it is clear that Freepers, to their credit, are opposed to this legislation as are the national security establishment - like the Director of National Intelligence, the Secretary of Defense as well as the Directors of the FBI and CIA, all professionals, all oppose this new law.
President Obama has promised to veto it but I do not trust him when push comes to shove.

South Carolina's left-wing Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, however, is supporting provisions to eradicate Posse Commitatus and dramatically expand the powers of the Federal government.
"The US Senate Armed Forces Committee, led by Carl Levin (D-MI) and John McCain (R-AZ), held a secret closed door session to insert ominous new Federal powers into the Defense Authorization Bill. This is the annual bill to fund the US military. These new powers were requested by the Obama administration."
