Your rights have been taken away as of today

[bigrebnc1775]

Tell me I am wrong tell me that when the bill voted on by the senate did not just strip Americans of their 4th 5th 6th and possibly 8th amendment away?

The bill does allow the executive branch to waive the authority based on national security and hold a suspect in civilian custody.
The legislation also would deny suspected terrorists, even U.S. citizens seized within the nation's borders, the right to trial and subject them to indefinite detention. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., had sought an exception to the provision for U.S. citizens, but her effort failed, 55-45.

All that awaits is obama signature. It could be a poly to give obama a chance to say look I vetoed a bill and protected your rights. He get's re-elected by a grateful nation and bam he strips those rights away after he has been re-elected.

this was not passed by the republican controlled house?

Isn't the senate an almost 50/50 split of Republicans and democrats? Why do you never blame democrats for anything?

Yay totalitarian military dictatorships!!! I hope the Neocons are finally happy now.

It just passed through a Democrat controlled Senate and is awaiting the signature of a Democrat President no blaming Bush or the right for this one if he signs it.
