URGENT! Senate Moves To Allow Military To arrest/hold Citizens W/O trial Vote Mon or Tues

[specsaregood]

We Arizonans need to recall that BSC! sumbitch, like yesterday. Who's with me?!

You can't recall US senators, as there is no federal provision for it. It doesn't even matter if your state has a provision for it. NJ people ran into this issue with Sen. Menendez just 2 years ago.

Mike Lee and Jim DeMint voted against the amendment that would've killed the illegal indefinite detention aspect of the bill: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/L...ote_cfm.cfm?congress=112&session=1&vote=00210

Senator Feinstein’s amendment, which would have limited applicability of the NDAA’s detention provisions to terrorism suspects captured abroad, was rejected in a 45-55 vote this afternoon

The next amendment coming up is the most important...to keep Americans off the detainment list.

It's hard to believe how 55 Senators could vote against such a common sense amendment. What's wrong with these people?

Because this @#$% Bullshit was aimed at Americans from the beginning.
That is the main purpose from inception.

I haven't yet read this amendment, but according to the ACLU website, Udall has proposed an amendment that will correct this. Here is a clip from aclu.org.

If you go back to the link I posted previously, the author is claiming the UDALL Amendment is the problem...............All this legal-ese is confusing.........I don't think that Lindsey Graham and John McCain are bluffing or playing some game, why would they, and I have yet to hear any kind of retraction from them about their comments....I wish their was a concise, quoted explanation on this that I could try and wrap my head around.

Both Feinstein amendments failed 45-55. However, at the last moment, she struck a compromise with Levin and McCain basically saying the sections shall not conflict with current war time law. Basically, changing nothing and "trusting" (her word) that McCain and the gang will keep their word.

The compromise amendment passed 99-1.
