Get your head out of the sand. The NDAA is the most serious violation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights since the Alien & Sedition acts of the John Adams administration. The NDAA essentially provides for back door “Bills of Attainder” by removing the protection of a jury trial. Bills of Attainder are specifically prohibited by the Constitution for both the federal and state governments. Additionally, the 5th Amendment specifically prohibits a citizen being “deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”.

The NDAA also provides for the back door violations of the 1st Amendment in that it keep citizens from exercising their rights to free speech and to petition government for redress of grievences for fear of being labeled a “terrorist” and becoming a political prisoner.

Again, get you head out of the sand.

Reread his statement again, slowly - it is obvious sarcasm ...
