Are you aware that President Obama signed the NDAA Law today?

Asked by Linda_Owl (7748points) December 31st, 2011

To say that I am terribly disappointed that Obama made the decision to sign this bill into law, is an understatement. This law effectively turns the US into a fully-fledged Police State (& suspends our Constitutional Rights), with its own Secret Police in the form of the Dept. of HomeLand Security. The NDAA Law gives the power to the government to hold ANYONE (civilian or not) who has been accused as a terrorist. These individuals have no right to legal council & they can be held for as long as the government wants them to be held, & these people have no right to see what evidence was used to so accuse them of terroristic activities & the government does not have to tell their families where they are being held. I cannot believe that he fooled me for such a long time. I thought that he had America’s best interests at heart & I voted for him. Now I find that he is just another politician, self-serving, ego driven, arrogant, & power hungry. This is a sad day for the US. We have no leader & none of the Republican want-to-be nominees have any contact with the reality with which the average American has to live on a daily basis.
