Before you go off the deep end...

The NDAA: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-112s1867es/html/BILLS-112s1867es.htm

If you go to section 1032, subsection b (parts 1 and 2), it appears that US citizens and legal resident aliens are exempt. But media isn't telling you that it seems, nor are the resident wingers...


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.
(2) Lawful resident aliens.--The requirement to detain a
person in military custody under this section does not extend
to a lawful resident alien of the United States on the basis of
conduct taking place within the United States, except to the
extent permitted by the Constitution of the United States.

I've been thinking about this. IMO, this would be a reason to vote for someone else, if the candidate didn't prescribe to this law.

This act, IMO, changes what America stands for & apart from dictatorships.
I am shocked I haven't heard much outrage over this, small pockets, and much of the media has been mute.

I have learned 93 democrats & 43 of republicans in the House voted against this.

Now, I also believe before this would be 'used', the Supreme's would have a chance to squash this.
At this time I don't know how they would come down on it? I would hope Scalia would oppose it, I wonder about Alito & Thomas & Roberts?

Even if President Obama couldn’t listen to the words of caution coming from the likes of Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and FBI chief Robert Mueller, 136 members of the House of Representatives registered their disapproval of the bill in its final go-round, and 13 senators joined them. Six Republican senators dissented, including Rand Paul and Jim DeMint, and an equal number of Democrats, including Al Franken and Dick Durbin, along with Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders. As for the House, the breakdown was 93 Democrats and 43 Republicans. Good to know they were pushing back against this alarming, and ultimately successful, assault on Americans’ most sacred rights, even when the president failed to do his part. —KA
