Judge Strikes Down NDAA, Rules Obama Must Obey Constitution

[Surveyor]

Where was the ACLU? can you imagine a law this powerful in the hands of and at the discretion of a fool like Obama. Every conservative radio and TV host in the country would be imprisoned. This is just insane.

“I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens,” wrote Obama. “My Administration will interpret section 1021 in a manner that ensures that any detention it authorizes complies with the Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law.” This of course was an outright lie, given the expressed meaning of the statute as Obama himself had demanded it be written. Leave it to Barack Obama to demand he be given absolute authority over the American public, yet claim in the next moment that he will not take advantage of it!

Thanks for posting this Surveyor. I hadn't seen it anywhere else.

I've been watching this for a few months. The best bittersweet thing about this is that Obama nominated the Judge Katherine Forrest (not sure why some stories say Kathleen) on May 4, 2011! It's refreshing that his own appointee made this ruling and hopefully is a harbinger of more such things to come. from the LA Times

Kenda, you're welcome, I thought more people would be interested in this bit of news. As far as I'm concerned this order would allow Obama to impose Marshall Law (almost, if not entirely) That's why I just don't understand where the ACLU is on this; not a peep.

Funny how many Constitutional infringements based on the Democrat's laws and rules that have been challenged in the past three years. This from the party that ostensibly hails itself as the party of freedom and choice... Like I said - funny....
