On Wednesday, a federal judged blocked Section 1021, (AKA the indefinite detainment provision) of the the highly controversial National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest agreed with journalist Chris Hedges, writer Noam Chomsky, Mr. Pentagon Papers Daniel Ellsberg, and several other plaintiffs who argued in January that the NDAA might just have a chilling effect on free expression. Forrest also agreed that it violated the Fifth Amendment right to due process and that the thing just didn't "pass Constitutional muster."

Meanwhile, scrappy young Congressman and advocate for actually reading bills before he votes on them, Justin Amash, is preparing to speak on the House floor about his (and Democrat Adam Smith's) amendment to the NDAA. The amendment, which would explicitly say that the NDAA cannot apply to accused domestic terrorists, could potentially come up for a vote as early as Friday.

Rep Amash and the Dem, Adam Smith, are going to take some shit for their amendment, even though it doesn't look like it'll pass. Such a libertarian extremist point of view...

I do agree that American citizens caught doing acts of terrorism in the CONUSA should have all the rights afforded them by the Constitution if they don't get double tapped in the face on scene.

But Non Americans should be taken to Gitmo or a "friendly" nation to have water poured down their throats and forced to listen to Slayer coming from a 1,000 watt sound system and pumped for all the info they have. When the well runs dry, shoot them in the head and feed them to pigs.

Americans working with terror groups outside should be treated as foriegner terrorist as far as they can be engaged with intent to kill but if they are captured the LAW should be the same for any American. Of coarse they should actually be treated like a Jawa, anmed as one instead of their true identaty, pumped and then fed to pigs and never talked about.

Shit,the Justcie department ignores the Balck Panther's breaking the law so they should ignore it when the CIA does so in cases like this.
