Judge Gives Obama Administration Well-Deserved Slap

In a key ruling defending the freedoms of Americans, a federal judge on Wednesday granted a preliminary injunction blocking the president from gaining the power to detain citizens indefinitely without charge.

Judge Kathleen Forrest ruled that Section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act “failed to pass constitutional muster.”

The act, signed into law on New Year’s Eve, grants the U.S. military the authority to exercise police powers on U.S. soil, including the ability to detain “until the end of hostilities” anybody the president feels has supported al Qaida, the Taliban or related groups.

Forrest said the section was unconstitutional because it could be used to block political dissent. In her statement, she pointed out that the provision could have been made constitutional with changes and clarifications in the definitions of the crimes it seeks to cover.

After the NDAA was signed into law, Democrat Sen. Carl Levin pointed out that the law originally had the legal language to limit the president’s ability to hold people indefinitely, but it was President Obama himself who demanded that American citizens be included under the detention law and that the president himself have exclusive authority to invoke the law.


Perhaps a "piece of the puzzle" that DID NOT get put into place? I wonder how many people were even aware of this? MORE rights that THEY are attempting to take away from us.

OBAMA is NON-Re-electable because:

OBAMA SEZ

“WE’RE DRILLING ALL OVER”

HE SAID - 

“Do not tell me that we’re not drilling.  We’re drilling all over this country.  I guess there are a few spots where we’re not drilling.  We’re not drilling in the National Mall.  We’re not drilling at your house.  I guess we could try to have, like, 200 oil rigs in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay.” (March 15, 2012, Prince George’s Community College.)

THAT IS FALSE HERE IS THE TRUE:

President Obama has blocked drilling in offshore areas totaling more than 10 times the size of Texas. He has stalled progress on an estimated one trillion barrels of oil in the American West, where the federal government owns the majority of the world’s oil shale. These off-limits supplies alone give the United States some of the largest oil reserves in the world. And no one proposes drilling in the Chesapeake Bay.

Is there a question of TRUST here?
