Attorneys Carl J. Mayer and Bruce I. Afran filed a complaint Friday in the Southern U.S. District Court in New York City on my behalf as a plaintiff against Barack Obama and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta to challenge the legality of the Authorization for Use of Military Force as embedded in the latest version of the National Defense Authorization Act, signed by the president Dec. 31.
The act authorizes the military in Title X, Subtitle D, entitled “Counter-Terrorism,” for the first time in more than 200 years, to carry out domestic policing. With this bill, which will take effect March 3, the military can indefinitely detain without trial any U.S. citizen deemed to be a terrorist or an accessory to terrorism. And suspects can be shipped by the military to our offshore penal colony in Guantanamo Bay and kept there until “the end of hostilities.” It is a catastrophic blow to civil liberties.

I can't see why more people are not enraged by this law. It gives Obama the right to lock you up and throw away the key for whatever reason he decides. Anything you say or do to disagree with the Obama regime and you could be history locked up for life, no crime charged, no trial. First of all it is unconstitional then it is totally absurd that a free nation woulds let this stand unchallenged. This is the kind of things they did in Nazi Germany. It is a bad law and needs to be repealed immediately. Let's rather keep our freedoms and say the hell with Obama.
Ya, well check out Bill S1968 gives the government the right to revoke your CITIZENSHIP with no due process.
Wake up America....
Where is that guy (anonymous, of course) who said "relax" and stop drinking the "Krazy Kool-Aid"? The MILITARY is now authorized to operate against AMERICAN citizens? What? Are we running out of FBI agents, state police, DEA, Treasury, ATF agents, local county, and city police? Secret Service can't keep up with demand? Posse Comatitus? They LAUGH at such arcane ideas (Reagan was the first to ignore THAT, so the rest of our "leaders" are just following Reagan's lead). People better start worrying. Its too late after they knock on your door (if they even give you THAT much courtesy).
