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?
Senate approves $662 billion defense bill - Yahoo! NewsThe 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.
The bill says;
(b) Applicability to United States Citizens and Lawful Resident Aliens-
(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS- The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
Why do you all keep saying that this bill applies to U.S. Citizens?
Because it does
If it didn't exist why did Feinstein try to have the provision removed?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.
Feinstein is a true American hero, don't you think?

55 to 45. Who voted what? Care to give us a rundown on that? Couldn't be that the GOP people were the ones that kept Feinsteins revisions from happening, could it?
And if President Obama vetos the bill on the basis of this, are you going to give him credit, or go after him for not funding the military? Going to answer that honestly? Because if he vetos the bill, you are going to see multiple threads here going after the President for his veto.

Yay totalitarian military dictatorships!!! I hope the Neocons are finally happy now.
I am a REP and I am against this bill so I dont know why you say that.. All my friends who are REP are against it too
Anything negative like this they think the Rep's are for. And it won't change their minds just because we tell them they're idiots and don't know what they're talking about....because a lot of them ARE idiots and don't know what they're talking about. Why would ANYONE be in favor of a bill like this? If Obama doesn't veto it, he's dead in the water.

The corporate liberals do not represent the majority of the republicans or of the conservative ideology. Blind acceptance of neocon policy is destroying this country.

I wished Americans would get past the liberal conservative dogma. This legislation was supported by those who claim too be conservative and liberal
There are two or three morons here who still think this will have no effect on American citizens.

No matter how you interpret the bill for some reason Feinstein tried to have the provision that would affect American citizens but she failed. Now tell me why did did she try to do this if it wasn't going to violates the rights of American citizens?
Obama already made a statement saying he would veto this bill no matter what if it contained that in it.
It won't matter if Obama vetoes it. The veto will be overridden based on the support split.Let's hope this gets vetoed. Both parties have gotten completely power-hungry...this vote just highlights that.
