A district-court judge has suspended enforcement of a law that could strip U.S. citizens of their civil rights and allow indefinite detention of individuals President Obama believes to be in support of terror.
The Obama administration has refused to ensure that the First Amendment rights of authors and writers who express contrary positions or report on terror group activities are protected under his new National Defense Authorization Act.
Targeted in the stunning ruling from U.S. District Judge Katherine B. Forrest of New York was Paragraph 1021 of the NDAA, which Obama signed into law last Dec. 31. The vague provision appears to allow for the suspension of civil rights for, and indefinite detention of, those individuals targeted by the president as being in support of terror.
Virginia already has passed a law that states it will not cooperate with such detentions, and several local jurisdictions have done the same. Arizona, Rhode Island, Maryland, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Washington also have reviewed such plans.
The case was before Forrest on a request for a temporary restraining order. The case was brought on behalf of Christopher Hedges, Daniel Ellsberg, Jennifer Bolen, Noam Chomsky, Alex O’Brien, Kai Warg All, Brigitta Jonsottir and the group U.S. Day of Rage. Many of the plaintiffs are authors or reporters who stated that the threat of indefinite detention by the U.S. military already had altered their activities.

It seems that even the "fresh and bold" Fox News got the message! It is utterly inane that neither O'Reilly nor Hannity will have as guests Arpaio and his fact finding experts who are knowledgeable, experienced, and experts in various fields,e.g., law, technology, and in depth research. The only thing that Bill O" can say is that Arpaio is wrong but he has NEVER sent his hounds out to do snooping and digging.
Starting now I am done watching Hannity or listening to Rush. All of the news networks have kept Ron Paul in the dark and refused to even mention his name. I will not vote for Mitt Romney as I believe he is just another extention to Obama and will follow in his footsteps.Ron Paul can and will win the election. He is the only honest person left other than Allen West. They are the only two that will fight for our constitution and country. Nobody tells me who I can vote for and how to vote. If you notice Hannity is always talking about Romney as is Rush. I truely believe they are being paid to get Romney elected. I will get my news off the internet from now on.
Did you hear, Oblamer just signed another executive order, says all U.S. Citizens must vote for Obama
In case you didn't know, O'Reilly and Hannity believe Oblameo is a "natural born citizen" who was born in Hawaii. They believe all the Birthers are nuts.
I stopped watching Fox YEARS ago. Online is the ONLY place left to get factual information.
God forbid anyone is actually detained using NDAA, but if they are and once released I hope they sue the hell out of the U.S. Government for Kidnapping, Illegal Detention, Not being provided council as governed by the Geneva Convention (of which the U.S. is a Signatory), and for their forfeiture of their Rights and Freedoms as a U.S. Citizen GUARANTEED by the Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights, and the U.S. Constitution.
How on Gods green earth, did this “Law” get approved and signed in, in the first Place? Did he get everyone Drunk First? What kind of Ace is this “Acorn community leader” holding. Aren’t there existing laws in place that forbid one branch, on Person, from weilding that much power, simpley on an excutive Order? I can’t cite it, but I know there Is! So, who dropped the ball, and gave this simple (yes, I used that in place of cluless),..man, this tremendious power over the people of the United Staes? You know all they have to do now is point you out as any old threat, and you go bye-bye, Forever! Do you really think you’re coming back out, to tell your story, or to sue the Feds. I think NOT! Talk about a dark cloud that will be following us all, for the rest of our lives. Now with the drones in the air over U.S. soil. God Help US All. Served this Great Nation for 8 years, and for what, the placment of everything, I thought I was fighting Against!
I reitterate,…..GOD HELP US ALL !!
One thing Oblamer forgot is that the Constitution trumps all laws, so his "forcing" the Congress to add the NDAA amendment to the Military budget, by stating he would veto the Military Budget if it wasn't included with that particular language that his Administration gave to Congress (there's a You-Tube video taken from C-Span where the Senator is asking about the language used in NDAA). then feigned "Contempt" and "Resignation" that it was even in there, when he essentially forced them to add it. Well i digressed there, as I was saying that the Indefinite Detention (Loss of Judicial Due Process, Loss of Right to Peacefully Assemble, and loss of the Freedom of Speech) CAN NOT be overwritten by an Executive Order as demonstrated by a Federal Judge that has put an "Injunction" in place till her further notice on it.
