Quote:
The bill says that the military must indefinitely detain anyone SUSPECTED of helping bad guys.
One provision says that the mandatory (“must”) indefinite detention doesn’t apply to U.S. citizens … but the government CAN indefinitely detain any U.S. citizen it feels like without trial, without presenting evidence, without letting the citizen consult with a lawyer, and without even charging the citizen.
In other words, it’s like saying “you don’t HAVE to lock up Joey for the rest of his life because he called you a mean name, but you CAN lock him away and throw away the key and then falsely accuse him of being a suspected terrorist if it would make you happy”.
They will say that American citizens are specifically exempted under the following language in Sec. 1032: “The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.” Don’t be fooled. All this says is that the President is not REQUIRED to indefinitely detain American citizens without charge or trial. It still PERMITS him to do so.
The ACLU notes:
Don’t be confused by anyone claiming that the indefinite detention legislation does not apply to American citizens. It does. There is an exemption for American citizens from the mandatory detention requirement (section 1032 of the bill), but no exemption for American citizens from the authorization to use the military to indefinitely detain people without charge or trial (section 1031 of the bill). So, the result is that, under the bill, the military has the power to indefinitely imprison American citizens, but it does not have to use its power unless ordered to do so.

Wow, PN. That was a really good commercial. Good for MTV.
As a mother, I reacted to that fleeting scene of the mother parting from her son.
It is one thing to fight and take the chance of getting killed, etc.
It is another thing to fight and take the chance of losing custody of my kids.
I'd rather run.
Pizmo, that was funny, about the hats. :) You got a good sense of humor.

Speaking of famous quotes, isn't that Einstein quote just paraphrasing Edmund Burke's "All that is necessary for evil to flourish is that good men do nothing?"
Evil, in this case, is flourishing, and I believe about to get a lefty signature. I mean left-handed.
Also left-wing and sinister.Quote:

PN, thanks for the video. You'll have more allies for your cause when you start admitting jews ;)
Here's a second spot of the MTV ad against NDAA
I have to say that I have an additional worry that if Obama signs this thing, which I assume he will, the election is over, and it becomes an "anybody but Obama" vote, shifting all the weight to the GOP primary. Here's praying for Ron Paul.
Unless they rig it, of course.
That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

Hello,
I agree.
Ron Paul is the only person I trust to not use this horrid new law. However crazy he seems, he has certain values he hasn't deviated from. One of those values involves shrinking the government and getting it out of your face.
I don't think he has a chance, though I'll be rooting for him.
Any other candidate will benefit from the continuous leeching away of rights, and likely add more casualties to the list.

I think it was meant to be some sort of general Holocaust awareness campaign.
They never thought it would be prescient.
