The govt has already reserved the right to suspend Habeus Corpus in certain cases, so there isnt a lot of new stuff here in that department.

If the shoe were on liberals’ foot, they’d be screaming to the Supreme Court with their motions to pre-empt the law. So when liberals stuff it on conservatives’ foot, they do... nothing? I can’t believe this is going without a whimper, except for Rush Limbaugh’s jeremiad. Where is the legal fund to fight this?

“The govt has already reserved the right to suspend Habeus Corpus in certain cases”

Previously, for terrorists. Now, any citizen suspected of anything the gov’t defines as terrorism or a suspected association with anything that could threaten the US.

For a hypothetical, say Obama suspends internet service for “security” reasons.
Protests start up all over the country. With NDAA, police and military can now round up whomever they please, without due process.
