Even my least favorite terrorist sympathizer, one who has been palling around with terrorists since he was a child receiving affection from one, deserves a trial and a specific prison sentence. This law is shockingly, disgustingly wrong.

President Obama wrote, “I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens.
The “finite” detention on the other hand will be
authorized in a heart beat.
The Constitution and Bill of Rights does not allow a citizen to be held without a speedy right to trial. This law will collapse with the first trial of any kind. It means nothing!

“Constitutional experts warn a new law that allows the president to permanently detain U.S. citizens without trial could be used against pro-life activists, who have already been defined as potential terrorists in documents by some government agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security.”
It’s not a stretch for Obama or some other President name the Tea Party as “potential terrorists”.
What's the problem here?
Everybody involved with this forum could be considered a threat under this new legislation!
Even my least favorite terrorist sympathizer, one who has been palling around with terrorists since he was a child receiving affection from one, deserves a trial and a specific prison sentence. This law is shockingly, disgustingly wrong.
wagglebee, this article is not true. These “constitutional scholars” are just yanking your chain.
The article itself quotes the language of the bill that specifically excludes US citizens, and that it applies only to Al-Qaeda.
It in fact doesn’t give any power to the Presidents that they don’t already have, and Senators like Rubio and DeMint would not have voted for it if it in anyway would lead to detention without trial of American dissidents.
This is simply crying wolf.
There are too many real threats from Obama to waste time on something like this, but day after day, it keeps surfacing on FR.
If you read the report’s description of terrorists, the occupy folks and latest governor walker protestors would be called terrorists.
Are there any pro-life Christians who meet the criteria?
bttt
The NDAA, which President Barack Obama signed on December 31, allows the president to hold enemy combatants in military detention facilities without trial until the end of hostilities, if the person “substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners.”
Are pro-life protestors frequently seen in the company of Al Qaeda, the Taliban or associated forces?
As could “Second Amendment Terrorists”, or “Taco Stand Terrorists”.
Ramping up. Where will it end?
To make space for us.
Obama will classify the Tea Party and any gathering of and for the Tea Party as acts of sedition.
I see Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voted for this, she shows her true colors.
