Hey dumb ass a Federal Judge Ruled that U.S. Citizens can be indefinitely detain by the military. I would really like to have a debate with a fucking liberal that I don't have to cuss to being so blatant stupid and a fucking hack. JUST HOW GOD DAMN STUPID CAN YOU FUCKING BE?Yes you read that right, American citizens can be indefinitely detain by the military. Those who argued that the NDAA did not pertain to Americans citizens I would like to ask if it did not affect American citizens why did a federal judge rule that it does?
A federal appeals court ruled in favor of the Obama administration on Tuesday, extending a temporary emergency extension of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that was implemented by New York federal judge Raymond Lohier last month after an injunction was issued to hold the act by Judge Katherine B. Forrest.
The act gives the president the authority to indefinitely detain anyone in the world, including American citizens, without due process, for suspicion of supporting al Qaeda or other terrorist groups.

obama's law ruled Americans can be indefinitely detain
No matter how many times you and others on the right repeat this lie, it wont make it true.
Did you even bother to read or comprehend the excerpt from the ruling?
First, in its memorandum of law in support of its motion, the government clarifies unequivocally that, 'based on their stated activities,' plaintiffs, 'journalists and activists[,] . . . are in no danger whatsoever of ever being captured and detained by the U.S. military.'
Second, on its face, the statute does not affect the existing rights of United States citizens or other individuals arrested in the United States. See NDAA § 1021(e) ('Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.').
Third, the language of the district court's injunction appears to go beyond NDAA § 1021 itself and to limit the government's authority under the Authorization for Use of Military Force...
Do you understand what the bolded means?
It means that the court confirms that it was never the intent of Congress to enact legislation authorizing the military to detain US citizens or LPRAs absent due process. It means that the NDAA in no way threatens our civil liberties, per § 1021(e).
So, if you or someone you know is detained by the military, simply cite this ruling and youll be released accordingly, or a lawyer provided to you.
