********************
After voting to oppose the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2014 for that very reason, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) issued a statement explaining his vote. That statement begins:
Today I voted against the National Defense Authorization Act. I am deeply concerned that Congress still has not prohibited President Obama’s ability to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens arrested on American soil without trial or due process.
The Constitution does not allow President Obama, or any president, to apprehend an American citizen, arrested on U.S. soil, and detain these citizens indefinitely without a trial. When I ran for office, I promised the people of Texas I would oppose any National Defense Authorization Act that did not explicitly prohibit the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens. Although this legislation does contain several positive provisions that I support, it does not ensure our most basic rights as American citizens are protected.

Michigan becomes just the second state — Virginia was first — to pass an act nullifying the unconstitutional provisions of the NDAA. As The New American has reported, there are several states and local governments considering similar measures.

And perhaps you didn’t realize that obama just signed the new NDAA for 2014 while on vacation in Hawaii, which means just a few days ago. Catch up.
If doj decides you might be a terrorist. who you gonna appeal to?
Maybe you didn’t notice that it took a Rand Paul filibuster to get holder to admit that US Citizens could be targeted by drones on US soil.
Maybe you didn’t notice that just over the weekend, obama used executive orders to allow mental health issues which has been prohibited BY LAW from being reported to be now used in background gun checks and ‘clarified’ by doj.
How much protection do you think you are going to receive from this government of the criminals, by the criminals, for the criminals?
If obama decides the TEA Party is a terrorist organization and the doij ‘clarifies’ it as such, where do you go for redress?
Calm down, Sparky.
FY14 has not been printed by the GAO yet. I use published final versions.
Provide a direct quote and link to the legislation to prove your point(s).
Until then, have a nice day.
