Well the dem senate passed it, the dem reps voted yes, and he signed it, so apparently not nearly enough.
You can't pin this all on the dems, the Republicans voted for it too.
And dem or Rep, anyone who didn't try to remove that bit, should be deeply ashamed.
I'm hoping for ritualistic suicide. Maybe lock themselves in a bus and light it on fire.
Many of the lefty partisans on here are laying ALL of this on the GOP. They are also giving Obama a hall pass even though without his signature, this never happens.
The NDAA laid out the budget for the military for the year so if Obama vetoed it then the military would have no budget while Congress tried to revise it. It would be political suicide.
I'm waiting to see if Obama tries to get that portion ruled unconstitutional or uses the new powers. I'm not getting my hopes up.
I make no excuses for the Congress Dems who didn't try to stop that bit of the bill, and neither should anyone else.
