This needs to be fact checked.
Take away that, and there is nothing holding down that lid.
People start getting grabbed off their lawn by the US armed forces, per the orders of some puke in DC, and there may well be lawmakers and enforcers of same sporting third eyes.
So, we just throw Amendment IV out the window? Folks, we cannot allow this to pass.
I sure hope that this isn’t true.
The thought of it makes me sick to my stomach.
we have that power now....just a little different wording...
Just asking
I was bemused a few months ago to contemplate (right here on FR) fellows who said they were Marines, boasting of how they roughed up a civilian who was wearing a Marines T-shirt (not a piece of genuine or imitation official military garb) for a purpose not to their liking. They argued that they were the law with respect to such matters.
Isn’t this a trivial extension of the same thing, in fact is such a law even needed on the books?

“Section 1031 attempts to expressly codify the detention authority that exists under the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40) (the “AUMF”). The authorities granted by the AUMF, including the detention authority, are essential to our ability to protect the American people from the threat posed by al-Qa’ida and its associated forces, and have enabled us to confront the full range of threats this country faces from those organizations and individuals. Because the authorities codified in this section already exist, the Administration does not believe codification is necessary and poses some risk...”
OMG I agree with Obama about something!
SHTG doesn’t cite any passages from the bill.
I believe under the Patriot Act the govt can already do this. And have done. Remember the 16 year old kid that they took and held for God knows how long and would not let the Mom see him or let him have an attorney. Apparently someone hacked his phone and was sending out terror threats on it. For all I know they are still holding the kid.
If this is true then I’m not suprised to see McStain as a major player.
PING,
Quix you were saying about rounding us up....
We could then hunt down and kill armed combatants who slipped in over the border, or who were otherwise notorious terrorists, or whatever.
Ron Paul and his running dog lackeys would be among the first to screech "That's not what we mean ~ we want the government to not only be able to stop the military from defending you from terrorists we don't even want you to be able to do that".
We know their type.
Regarding American citizens who engage in warfare against this country or our people, they are dead meat ~
Pinging Agenda 21 folks.
There is quite the discussion on whether or not it is true that the Senate is proposing legislation that allows the military to detain citizens without charge or trial. I thought that some of you might be interested in weighing in on this.
If you wish to be on or off this list, please let me know via FReepmail. It is a relatively low volume ping list. We have been studying the UN Agenda 21 and other related issues. The thread where we have been collecting links and discussions can be found here:

This is the same bullshit story we saw when The Bent One was in office in the 1990s. The klutz who wrote this forgot to include the 50 Chinese divisions hiding in the sagebrush in Texas, the cattlecars to take us to the concentration camps waiting in Montana and the Army had invented a veg-o-matic guillotine that would chop off the heads of 10 Patriots at a time.
This garbage has as much chance of passing as that commie Alcee Hasting’s legislation to confiscate all handguns. The turd introduces this legislation every year in the house. This is no different.
Can we move onto reality now?
Drafted in secret.....Carl Levin, and John McCain eh.
Wouldn’t doubt it.
