A Congressional committee has eliminated a provision the Senate passed earlier this year in the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act which aimed to prevent US citizens from being detained indefinitely without charge or trial.
“Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.) announced the removal of Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s indefinite detention amendment Tuesday afternoon,” reported Josh Gerstein at Politico.
Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act last year, which includes provisions codifying indefinite detention for individuals suspected of allying with or supporting al-Qaeda or its affiliates, although the language is quite vague.
There was and is serious disagreement about how much the Feinstein amendment accomplished, with many arguing it didn’t do enough to explicitly guarantee that the indefinite detention provisions in the bill did not apply to US citizens because it essentially deferred to the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force, which many including Senator Levin claim permits the government to indefinitely detain US citizens.
But now that the language has been dropped, there is little to get in the way of the NDAA’s indefinite detention provisions.
Senator Rand Paul, who supported the Feinstein amendment, released a statement condemning the committee decision to have it removed.
“[R]emoving those protections now takes us back to square one and does as much violence to the Constitution as last year’s NDAA,” Paul said in a statement. “When government can arrest suspects without a warrant, hold them without trial, deny them access to counsel or admission of bail, we have shorn the Bill of Rights of its sanctity.”
A nice lil'bit of TREASON to the CONSTITUTION which they have SWORN DEFEND…!!!!!!!!!!
Senators take this oath BEFORE they are allowed to serve:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."
So we have Senator Levin confirming our worst fears……. Why is the oath administered if there are NO consequences for it's breach……….????

"The people are the Masters of both Congress and Courts, NOT to overthrow the Constitution,
but to overthrow the men who pervert it!" Abraham Lincoln
Ironic quote from Lincoln who perverted the constitution himself with the suspension of Habius Corpus. Guess the hypocrisy of our government goes back a long way and includes some who are worshiped as American heroes.
Let's send one of these suckers to everyone on that treasonous committee…………..
The U.S. is supporting "Al Qaida' and allows the 'Al Qaida' flag to fly over Libya while the U.S. arms 'Al Qaida' to carry on sustained attacks against Syria and Palestine and other places. Did I miss something? The senate channels money for 'Al Qaida' to do this. They request incarceration. Why? Little boys not enough?
Which means that U.S is about to become the second largest concentration camp in the world.., first is GAZA in Israel.
Well said Rand. My question is still how stuff like this gets enacted. What will it take for unconstitutional crap to be thrown out? How is it that we are stuck with a Congress and Executive that can trample the Constitution day in and out and no one can do anything about it?
You want to know how stuff like this gets enacted???? Try this…the Congress Critters don't read the bills they sign off on – and they usually vote along party lines – can't upset the caucus leaders or they'll end up on the Permanent Select Sanitation Committee. And those who might read them vote them in because they're afraid of being held accountable.
True, all those senile bastards are just there to vote and collect the paycheck from the companies/countries sponsoring whatever bill. But they've got staff who read this stuff and presumably advise those schmucks.
The current crop of politicians we have in Washington D.C. – and I am talking about BOTH parties, folks – are clearly drunk on their ability to seize more and more dictatorial power and to create a bigger and more intrusive Police State with every vote they record. Who was it who first said that absolute power corrupts absolutely?
Power of this kind is an aphrodisiac and we all know where this will eventually lead. Reference what the Bolshevik Communists did when they seized Russia in 1917.
You see now, why it is so important that we do NOT allow these monsters in blue suits to disarm us?
Let's put up a decent fight, folks. Would you rather die, fighting tyranny and in defense of liberty where you at least have a sporting chance to land a few licks on your enemies – or, be thrown into a Fema gulag and then have some Commissar put a bullet through the back of your head and then dump your body into a ditch?
Let's take a vote.
PNAC instructs congress and the president on what to do and how to vote, and what is required for them to keep their job. It is a well understood fact, that If PNAC's orders are ignored or defied, recalcitrant individuals face stiff opposition in the next election from a PNAC sponsored candidate who has been given enough money to buy his or her election. Being a congressman or woman is a very lucrative occupation comparable to winning the Powerball twice a year. Therefore, not many congressmen are willing to buck PNAC's orders and risk defeat due to standing up for the Constitution.
Now United Bluff is a banana republic. You can´t take away habeas corpus in Colombia, not even in war or civil war.
get me my hangin rope ma, there's treason a brewin!
