The 86 Senators Who Voted To Pass NDAA Need To #Occupy The Unemployment Line

This year’s National Defense Authorization Act has just passed through the Senate. The only obstacle is President Obama and historically he caves into vocal opposition, and looking at the lengthy list of Senators voting Yea, this abomination this could very well pass.



The 13 Senators that voted Nay on this year’s version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), with 86 voting Yea:
Cardin (D-MD)
Coburn (R-OK)
Crapo (R-ID)
DeMint (R-SC)
Durbin (D-IL)		Franken (D-MN)
Harkin (D-IA)
Lee (R-UT)
Merkley (D-OR)
Paul (R-KY)		Risch (R-ID)
Sanders (I-VT)
Wyden (D-OR)
One was apparently too busy to vote: Moran (R-KS)

    We need applaud those who voted against this bill, as loud and as often as we can.

    There is very tricky wording in this, which seems to give the military the right to indefinitely detain American citizens, on US Soil, that are suspected of "terrorism."

    What are the problems with this?

    - 1. The Obama administration threatened a veto unless the clear and concise wording exempting US citizens was removed.

    - 2. The Obama administration has a "secret" interpretation of the USA PATRIOT ACT, the legal quagmire that has been eroding our civil liberties each and every time the federal government gets a chance.

    - 3. The definition of terrorism is quite murky. All you need is for somebody to deem your public dissent terrorism and you're screwed.

    - 4. This act appears to erode the Posse Cometitis act, which specifically prohibits the US Military functioning on US Soil. It defines the "war on terrorism" as the entire globe, including the US. This act is in place to prevent our military from being used against us.

    1235-It was the Obama administration itself who insisted on the language pertaining to indefinite detention. They won't veto what they authored.
