Obamas Preventative/Prolonged Detention Plan

President Obama has completely swung from the rule of law in a speech where he emphasized the importance of the rule of law. This is a real danger to everyone! Our Constitution, the very document the president has sworn to defend (U.S. Const. Art. V, Sec 3), does NOT allow for such unlawful detentions to prevent 'future-crime'. It is IMPERATIVE that all of you contact your State congressman & representatives to OPPOSE this upcoming legislation - don't ASK them to oppose it; TELL them. Remember, they are supposed to represent YOU, so speak up!

If such legislation is passed anyone who opposes the government can/will be labeled an extremist/terrorist (government officials use these nondescript terms interchangeably) and can/will be imprisoned without an indictment, without charges, without a trial, without a sentence; basically without any due process at all.

"An Unconstitutional Act is not law; it confers no rights: it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed."
- Norton vs. Shelby County 118 US 425 p.442

"It is well settled that, quite apart from the guarantee of equal protection, if a law impinges upon a fundamental right explicitly or implicitly secured by the Constitution it is presumptively unconstitutional."
- Harris V. McRae, 448 US 297 (1980) (USSC+)

"Anything repugnant to the Constitution is null and void."
-Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury V. Madison,1Cr.137

"On every question of construction carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed."
--Thomas Jefferson to William Johnson, 1823. ME 15:449

"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny."
- Thomas Jefferson

"The particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the Constitution is void; and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument."
— John Marshall: Opinion as Chief Justice in Marbury vs. Madison, 1802

"[E]very act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm, that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid."
— Alexander Hamilton

In case you weren't looking this is a very serious matter - as such I wasn't expecting a comedian to comment.

As far as the 'extreme absurdity' being humor, yes it is, that is one of the reasons I love Monty Python and the like. But when you've seen some of the ridiculous comments I've seen when discussing politics, your post wasn't standing out at all - it simply blended with the cooky responses I've already seen.

And I agree, there is no humor when people's lives & rights are at stake.

[Armyless1]

I dare you to tell me a joke.

[AlmostFreeAmerican]

A man sees his neighbor with a bunch of wild monkeys in his yard. The man asks about them and the neighbor says, "Don't worry, I'm going to take these monkeys to the zoo tomorrow."

So the next day, the man sees his neighbor, and to his amazement, the neighbor still has the monkeys.

"I thought you said you were going to take those monkeys to the zoo yesterday!", he said.

The neighbor replied, "I did, and today I'm going to take them to the movies."

[AlmostFreeAmerican]

Now that you've 'broken me free from the humorless life I've been living' - can we get back to serious comments befitting a serious video about a serious problem with our country?

Don't be one of the non-thinking masses that allow themselves to be entertained from becoming aware.

[Armyless1]

It's an option, and a viable one. Of course we could also give them milk and cookies. What would justify any course of action other than due process? You need to lighten up.

[AlmostFreeAmerican]

You call that a viable option? Wow - you need to study your history and Constitution.

And, to answer your question, in a republic, which our country is supposed to be, NOTHING other than due process is a proper course of action. To do otherwise makes us no better than the enemy we oppose.

I'll lighten up once you smarten up.

~With all sincerity Obama, you are a true piece of shit. A traitor to the American Constitution and to the American way. You and your pal's over seas New World Order and its agenda will not succeed!

[0rip0]

Absolutely correct, and look how easy he made it to change the definition of "terrorist".

He talks about people "plotting to take American lives". So does that include the people "plotting" to take the lives of traitors to the U.S. Constitution? You bet it does!

Anyone else notice that whenever they talk about "terrorists" they no longer talk about the Middle East? Now suddenly, all the terrorists and their "training camps" are in the U.S.!!

And still, the people refuse to wake up.

[ConnectionMagazine]

Any "belligerent" act and you may be deemed a threat.

[rubyjune77]

the senate already passed it last week i think they called it SB 1867 and obama is supposedly trying to veto it.. doesnt sound like it.

[Kaitlynses]

This is scary. I found this video from my college professor and it does not make the future look to bright. I hope more people can open their eyes and realize what is happening.

[sonyapulgado]

How exactly wouldn't nwo succeed..Don't they have more power even outnumbered.?I dont know about you but i'm not the one funding operations or even manually building the remote controlled water valves in spokane's water supplies...No one in my family thinks any of this exists..what do i do? Arent some of you hunching that maybe Obama is a terrorist? Why can't he be arrested?

[sdsithlord]

I don't believe it. MSNBC criticizing Obama??? Normally they (and Rachel here) sing his praises and demonize anyone who opposes him, his policies, or liberals. How did this get through?

Maybe they're beginning to see what the Marxist-in-Chief is really all about. What do you expect from someone who is good friends with Bill Ayers.

Of course, this won't apply to Ayers or other lefties. Only us military veterans and other true patriots who believe in the Constitution. We are the threat.
