Obama Expected to Sign Bill Allowing Indefinite Detention

[TSA Customs]

MANHATTAN (CN) - The White House signaled that President Barack Obama has dropped his veto threat against a bill allowing the military to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens without trial, and letting the military jail anyone it considers a terrorism suspect anywhere in the world without charge or trial.

After passing the House on Wednesday night, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 could come to Obama's desk after a Senate vote today (Thursday), the 220th anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights. The bill writes a $662 billion check to the Department of Defense.

Civil libertarians fear the law threatens 4th Amendment protections from unreasonable searches and seizures; 5th Amendment guarantees of due process; and 6th Amendment provisions for speedy trial.

''President Obama made a choice with chilling consequences today when he announced he would not veto the NDAA despite the lack of change to provisions of the bill that make it even more difficult to shut down the prison at Guantanamo and make indefinite military detention without trial a permanent feature of the U.S. legal system,'' the Center for Constitutional Rights said in a statement.

President Obama will serve 4 more years and then he will be followed by 8 years of President Hillary Clinton.

Next November, feel free to vote for thrice-divorced Newt Gingrich - and then NEVER again utter a single word about "Christian" values. You can vote for the Mormon, the unintelligent Michelle Bachmann, or Ron Paul who has zero chance of winning.

Prophecies of doom are best delivered on street corners, where they belong - and more effective when done in a tone of gloom rather than one of hopeful expectation.

And then half of us go to the arctic death camps, half of us go to the FEMA death camps, and half of us are killed by the UN, right?

Well after one half leaves, then the second half leaves, the third half would be pretty safe, I imagine

Hey, my maths makes just as much sense as the op there fella.

It's a miracle, 3 halves.
