Federal Court Throws Out Block On Indefinite Detention Provision of NDAA

This story should send shock waves throughout the US just as the initial signing of the NDAA partially managed to do.

 Wednesday, the US District Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit threw out an injunction on the indefinite detention provision of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that had been ordered by a judge through Hedges vs. Obama.

In September 2012 a federal court in New York had issued a permanent injunction on section 1021(b)(2) of the NDAA. This provision allows for indefinite detention of citizens and permanent residents on just the mere suspicion of having aided anyone hostile to the United States.

Within a day of the ruling the Obama administration had appealed, placing the injunction under temporary suspension.

Wednesday, July 17th the decision was made by the appeals court to overturn the injunction.



And yet I visit various sites and people are still of the idea that Obama is great and its all the Republicans fault, or the Party of stupid as some posters allude to..These obvious brain damaged folks are either A. paid posters or B. just plain dumb or both.


Mind numbing how far we have fallen.
