Daily Mail ^ | 12/15/11 | Meghan Keneally

President Barack Obama faced a civil liberties backlash today after he signed a law that will allow terror suspects to be held indefinitely- even raising the prospects of U.S. citizens being sent to Guantanamo Bay. The controversial move, revealed last night, effectively extends the laws of the battlefield to American soil.

The move shows a clear hardening of Mr Obama’s anti-terror policies, and a major shift from the liberal stance that helped him sweep into power three years ago.

If Obammy arrests all the people he’s named domestic terrorists (his political and social enemies), he’ll need a real big prison camp. I hope McCain is the first one sent. We should report him to DOD for terrorizing the country.

Right. The majority of the Supremes could give a crap about the constitution. It’s depends on whether Kennedy has a gassy stomach or not when he hears the case. They have let this happen to our country.

21twelve,

If you read the last sections closely they say the president is not required to hold American citizens indefinitely. Which means he can hold throw them in the gulag forever, as long as he is not required to do so.

As, the government can ask for a waiver to begin pulling folks out of line despite the fact they are not working for al queda.

Is it? Tanks in the streeets? Police running amok to and fro barging into your domicile? Detaining and shooting people in the streets.

Oh, I forgot: yep, its “Barry’s Armerika” as you put it.

You know WHAT? You haven’t a clue to what an “oppressive reigme” actually means.
