NDAA Reauthorized

Well.

That was fast.

The recent ruling that the NDAA is unconstitutional has been appealed by the White House, keeping it in action for the time being, until it is reviewed by higher authorities. This stay will last until at least September 28th.

Let's review what Obama said on December 31, 2011 when he signed the NDAA, shall we?

“The fact that I support this bill as a whole does not mean I agree with everything in it. In particular, I have signed this bill despite having serious reservations with certain provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation, and prosecution of suspected terrorists.” - Barack Obama

Where the hell is that reluctance now? Some people might have been able to defend Obama before by saying he didn't like this part and wished it wasn't there, why in the world would they fight specifically to keep that part?! Why aren't Democrats waking up to see this is the man they elected?

Obama Says Judge Ruling the NDAA Unconstitutional was an Unconstitutional Ruling

I mean, since when have judges been allowed to make rulings? They've gone mad with power in their attempts to stop others from going mad with power!

But those other people were only going mad with "serious reservations", of course.

NDAA's indefinite detention provision declared unconstitutional

In a bit of good news, the section of the National Defense Authorization Act that allowed the indefinite detention of US citizens without charge or trial was ruled as unconstitutional!

Unsurprisingly, for a bill that Obama signed with "serious reservations", his administration seems to be fighting tooth and nail to keep this disgusting power.

Obama Fight to Keep Indefinite Detention

You must understand that we live in a post 9/11 world. And that means you have lost all your rights. You are now guilty until proven innocent. Wait, scratch that, you are guilty until the government says your innocent. That's why it's so important that the government has the power to imprison someone as long as they want without charge or trial. Thank you, Obama. Thanks for your wonderful change.
