obama's law ruled Americans can be indefinitely detain

You insist on ignoring the relevant language.

The Court chose not to.

This is why your "argument" was bogus the first time. And it's why your argument still is bogus.
Who is ANY PERSON?

Who cares?

Who is specifically EXEMPTED?

It's written in the law any person can be detained.

(b) COVERED PERSONS.—A covered person under this section is any person as follows:
(1) A person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks.
(2) A person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.

In this section anyone can be deatained which this is section 1031
the other section your talking about is 1032 which protects AMERICAN CITIZEN in that section only but not in section 1031

No, bigrebnc, any person means (1) A person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks. (2) A person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces. A person has to have been active, supported, or harbored folks involved with 9-11 and or al-Qaeda and or Taliban and or their associated forces engaged against us.

That does not mean you, bigrebnc, unless you fall into the category above. End of story.

Any person would also include a U.S. citizen in section 1031
 
Not in accordance with the entire act. Your interpretation is invalid. End of subject.

Section 1032 directs you back to section 1031 as defined person. Any person includes U.S. citizens.
a federal judge also ruled u.s citizens can be detained they are not protected, or did you by-pass the op?. Now it the end of the subject.
 
This has been explained to you. That you don't accept it is immaterial.

This has been explained to you
The NDAA is divided into section
section 1032 redirects you back to section 1031 for defined persons the indefinite detention will effect any person would include U.S. CITIZENS.

False.

bigrebnc continues to think one small portion, independent of the rest of the bill, determines the bill, not the totality of the bill.

bigrebnc is wrong.
 
If the defense of this act is being based on the fact that one must first BE accused of being

1) A person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks.

Then any citizen can be charged and held indefinitely.


All it takes for indefinite imprisonment is, according to that law at least, the ACCUSATION OR SUSPICION.

It is two different sections of the same law. And you are the one who is not comprehending.

You remain flatly wrong. The prohibition on applying the law to Americans is clear and there is no basis -- at all -- for your concern that the prohibition is not applicable to other sections. Indeed, your inability to understand the basics of statutory construction IS what keeps leading you astray. If you manage to pay attention, you will discover IN THE VERY TEXT of the law, that there is even a CROSS REFERENCE between the sections.

But hurry back to pretend that you know what you're talking about.
 
How bout that 'Hope & Change?' Looks like the joke's on us once again. Everyone should see the film 'The Obama Deception.' Extremely enlightening.

It is two different sections of the same law. And you are the one who is not comprehending.

You remain flatly wrong. The prohibition on applying the law to Americans is clear and there is no basis -- at all -- for your concern that the prohibition is not applicable to other sections. Indeed, your inability to understand the basics of statutory construction IS what keeps leading you astray. If you manage to pay attention, you will discover IN THE VERY TEXT of the law, that there is even a CROSS REFERENCE between the sections.

But hurry back to pretend that you know what you're talking about.

No it is you who is dead wrong. It specifically states in each section who is effected by the NDAA. one section gives citizens protection the other section does not. Even section 1032 directs you to go back to section 1031 and it states any person
Do you work for the government?
Tell me why would a judge see what I see and three obama appointed judges rule against they stay?

If that were true (and you remain the one who is flatly wrong, so it isn't true) but still, IF that were true, you'd have a hard time explaining the cross-referencing that the law utilizes.

You remain flatly wrong.
