Fuck Obama. That the federal government could be authorized to detain anyone indefinitely without trial for any reason (or any reason they could twist around show "supporting terrorism" or whatever the fuck) is inexcusable. It doesn't matter that they have been sorta doing this already overseas, or that the chance of it happening to an ordinary law-abiding American citizen is unlikely, it's an awful idea and no one should support it.
Of course, it's awful to the point where there's probably context behind it that helps explain things. It's easier to believe that than to believe that so many cogressmen have lost their minds and are willing to sell out a basic fundamental constitutional principle like that. I read a New York Times article on it that shed a bit of light, and an op-ed piece in the same paper that criticized the decision, but it's hard to find anything both substantive and frightening.
Don't know, I have to set aside time to read more and find more information, but so far
"No sir. I don't like it."
