Senator Levin told Congress recently that under the original wording of the National Defense Authorization Act, American citizens were excluded from the provision that allowed for detention. Once Obama's officials saw the text though, says Levin, "the administration asked us to remove the language which says that US citizens and lawful residents would not be subject to this section."

Specifically, the section that Obama asked to be reworded was Section 1031 of the NDAA FY2012, which says that "any person who has committed a belligerent act" could be held indefinitely.

"It was the administration that asked us to remove the very language which we had in the bill which passed the committee...we removed it at the request of the administration," said Levin. "It was the administration which asked us to remove the very language the absence of which is now objected to."

Ron Paul: The NDAA Repeals More Rights
Ron Paul

December 27, 2011

Little by little, in the name of fighting terrorism, our Bill of Rights is being repealed. The 4th amendment has been rendered toothless by the PATRIOT Act. No more can we truly feel secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects when now there is an exception that fits nearly any excuse for our government to search and seize our property. Of course, the vast majority of Americans may say "I'm not a terrorist, so I have no reason to worry." However, innocent people are wrongly accused all the time. The Bill of Rights is there precisely because the founders wanted to set a very high bar for the government to overcome in order to deprive an individual of life or liberty. To lower that bar is to endanger everyone. When the bar is low enough to include political enemies, our descent into totalitarianism is virtually assured.

The PATRIOT Act, as bad is its violation of the 4th Amendment, was just one step down the slippery slope. The recently passed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) continues that slip toward tyranny and in fact accelerates it significantly. The main section of concern, Section 1021 of the NDAA Conference Report, does to the 5th Amendment what the PATRIOT Act does to the 4th. The 5th Amendment is about much more than the right to remain silent in the face of government questioning. It contains very basic and very critical stipulations about due process of law. The government cannot imprison a person for no reason and with no evidence presented or access to legal counsel.

The dangers in the NDAA are its alarmingly vague, undefined criteria for who can be indefinitely detained by the US government without trial. It is now no longer limited to members of al Qaeda or the Taliban, but anyone accused of "substantially supporting" such groups or "associated forces." How closely associated? And what constitutes "substantial" support? What if it was discovered that someone who committed a terrorist act was once involved with a charity? Or supported a political candidate? Are all donors of that charity or supporters of that candidate now suspect, and subject to indefinite detainment? Is that charity now an associated force?

Additionally, this legislation codifies in law for the first time authority to detain Americans that has to this point only been claimed by President Obama. According to subsection (e) of section 1021, "[n]othing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States." This means the president's widely expanded view of his own authority to detain Americans indefinitely even on American soil is for the first time in this legislation codified in law. That should chill all of us to our cores.

The Bill of Rights has no exemptions for "really bad people" or terrorists or even non-citizens. It is a key check on government power against any person. That is not a weakness in our legal system; it is the very strength of our legal system. The NDAA attempts to justify abridging the bill of rights on the theory that rights are suspended in a time of war, and the entire Unites States is a battlefield in the War on Terror. This is a very dangerous development indeed. Beware.

  • IS IT TO LATE TOO END THE FED?

  • New OBAMA 911 Federal UNION inside job

    Should the military support the government rather than The Constitution, however, an America based upon a written constitution is doomed; there is absolutely no way that a bunch of hunters with bolt-action rifles stand a chance against the vast array of high-tech, absolutely lethal weaponry employed by today’s military forces. Will the U.N pull in foreign troops to do there dirty work? Ending the FED too late?

    We do, indeed, live in interesting times.”

  • @genepoolshallow My words aren't for you but for those who have witnessed the paranormal powers of witchcraft, fortunetelling, Satan worship, as well as GOD'S protecting hand. And only the Bible identifies every boundary where we are safe in one another's care. You've never explored how the evil of this world can only be explained by the presence of evil prodding men to do things their good conscience would have never allowed had not the evil been present.

  • @abarhadebar Exactly! As long as I can play WoW and eat Lay's potato chips I say just roll with it.

  • @utopiandesign Yea, and unto the reindeer with the anointed nose did the saint from the north beseech: "Won't you guide my sleigh tonite?" And so it was that the stolen solstice celebration was pardoned certain doom and the reindeer Rudolph was beloved by his peers where once he was scorned, and guaranteed a place in lore.

  • even the Romans guaranteed due process...

  • Evil will always take the shape of Man until all men are judged and dead.

  • 2000 years ago, prophecy warned of a nation: "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Rev.13:15-17.
