We are Under Asssault!- National Defense Authorization Act

[dominatr]

Attention all! Conservative or Liberal, Black or White, Man or Woman, Child or Adult, we're in a lot of trouble! Very recently i caught wind of the National Defense Authorization Act (Whatever that may mean, euphemisms these days ) has been passed and its contents are incredibly dangerous. The senate passed this, but the president may be able to veto it, so it is not set in stone YET.

So what it basically is is the world police (the United States Military) now has permission to lock ANYBODY up regardless of anything, if they are perceived to be a terrorist (this can be so vague that you can be considered a terrorist for pretty much anything now) then you can be sent to indefinite detention without charge and trial. In essence this places law enforcement in the military's hands and makes it limitless. This of course can be dangerous and i wish to see everyone in the community's opinions.

Some links if you wish to see it for yourself:

Akk! Why did so many senators vote for this?

I think that second link was extremely biased though.

I think we already have a thread on this, but I don't know the title.

'Obama regime' isn't biased, it's deranged.
Afaik Obama has already come out and said it's unconstitutional and he'll veto it if it passes.

"Hey liberal-land, wanna take a @ on human rights?"
*Choir of applause*

EDIT: I'm happy he said that GoodSarmatian. Good grief.

he says "obama regime" as a satirical phrase. He may be a bit biased, but after listening to him for several months, you begin to realize that he has some good information and is pretty logical. I just posted this because that is where i heard of it from.

I must beg the question.

WHAT THE [EFF] WERE THEY THINKING!?!

 

[GamezRule]

Isn't there already a thread for this? Nevertheless, it's still disgusting.

 

[Ajidica]

Stupid and silly law is stupid and silly?
What else is there to say?

Wow, I must say, why didn't those Democrats stop this law? I thought they were the good, smart guys.

They are the same guys, dude. John Jackson, Jack Johnson..

Republicans: "Unthinkable!"
Democrats: "I wouldn't think of it!"

That's not it at all, they mostly bat for the same side.

The difference is that the Republicans are the bad cops and the Democrats are the good cops in the bad cop-good cop routine.

If you don't like this bill, and I don't, then complain to the President and your elected officials in congress. You can do it online these days - easy as pie.
