Subject: Senate Votes To Let Military Detain Americans Indefinitely, White House Threatens Veto

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/29/senate-votes-to-let-military-detain-americans-indefinitely_n_1119473.html =====================================================================The measure, part of the massive National Defense Authorization Act, was also opposed by civil libertarians on the left and right. But 16 Democrats and an independent joined with Republicans to defeat an amendment by Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) that would have killed the provision, voting it down with 61 against, and 37 for it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For obvious reason I actually hope Obama to carry out veto on this one.

Funny, it was HIS Justice Department that PUSHED for this piece of CRAP legislation to revoke posse comittatus . (D) Carl Levin's staff wrote the damned amendment to Eric Holder's specs!

John McCain was the co-sponsor. A lot of the Republican senators are just as screwed up in the head as the idiots in the White House. If I had my way, we would turn them ALL out.

I am finding it increasingly hard to identify any two party system. Both sides get up in arms over Gay marriage and start a fight. The media covers ad naseum. As the mob bickers while they both conspire to undermine the structural framework (constitution) of our nation. We are polarizing ourselves; dividing individuals when we need to be developing a stronger sense of community. Like self replicating patterns of life (mandelbrot/fractal) starting at the micro scale and let it reverberate through cyberspace but start by helping out your neighbor. They are winning by making us hate each other.
 
OK forget the source on this please.
