>>NDAA is the National Defense Authorization Act, the defense budget, the military’s budget.<<
I’m pretty sure everyone already knows that. The legislation contained within the NDAA over the last few years is what’s got folks up in arms.
I understand. I was responding to a post wherein the person was asking what “NDAA” was.
Regarding “The legislation contained within the NDAA over the last few years is what’s got folks up in arms.”
I read the legislation and to me I find a lot of angst over a non-issue.
When I am being told something I usually try to find the source document and read it myself. In this case I did and find protections remain.
Consider, from the referenced NDAA, “LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS, SUBTITLE D—COUNTERTERRORISM, Section 1033—Habeas Corpus Rights:” “This section would state that nothing in the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107–40) or the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112–81) shall be construed to deny the availability of the writ of habeas corpus in a court ordained or established by or under Article III of the Constitution for any person who is detained in the United States pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107–40).”
Oh. . .and if you can direct me to the section that states US citizens are liable for indefinite detention and other such threats, please do, as I want to read it and mark for reference. Thanks.
