White House fights for right to send Americans to military prisons

A lone appeals judge bowed down to the Obama administration this week and reauthorized the White House's ability to indefinitely detain American citizens without charge or due process. A group of journalists and activists sued the government over the powers granted to them under the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, but despite a federal judge's ruling banning that particular provision, the White House continues to fight to get it back on the books. Carl Mayer, a counsel representing the plaintiffs in the case against President Obama, joins us for more.

Wonder how many of the US citizen even know what is NDAA.

In effect, what O’Bastard has done by circumventing just one portion of the US Constitution, is to deliberately wage war on “We the People”. This is an impeachment offense and nothing will be done about it.

I believe the globalists groomed Obombya, made him a constitutional law professor and gave him a Nobel Peace Prize, so he could do exactly what he's doing. He can abolish the constitution and go to war for peace. Most Americans just listen to what he says and it sounds great, but when you look at what he does, you can see just how good of a compulsive liar he is. I'm sure Libya is worse off now, just like Iraq is worse now. Sadam and Gaddafi may have been bad, but it's worse than that now.

There will be plenty done about it,and real soon. No need to worry about anything.We're taking our country back, so be prepared as things have to stop before we can start again.

Keep a little food and water and some cash to last about a week,at most. We're gonna win,so keep the faith.

Since when has the Constitution for the united states of America mattered? We have not been a "Constitutional Republic" for over 140 years...

[Very uninterested]

The problem is American citizens are too dumb, all they care about is there facebook, starbucks, and Monday night football.

Yeah...take it to SCOTUS. That's what "they" want. How many times has the supreme court ruled something unconstitutional? Their buddies on the bench will see it their way.....guaranteed.
