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.
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.
