With Reservations, Obama Signs Act to Allow Detention of Citizens
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics...n-of-citizens/
In his last official act of business in 2011, President Barack Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act from his vacation rental in Kailua, Hawaii. In a statement, the president said he did so with reservations about key provisions in the law — including a controversial component that would allow the military to indefinitely detain terror suspects, including American citizens arrested in the United States, without charge. The legislation has drawn severe criticism from civil liberties groups, many Democrats, along with Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, who called it “a slip into tyranny.” Recently two retired four-star Marine generals called on the president to veto the bill in a New York Times op-ed, deeming it “misguided and unnecessary.” “Due process would be a thing of the past,” wrote Gens Charles C. Krulak and Joseph P. Hoar. “Current law empowers the military to detain people caught on the battlefield, but this provision would expand the battlefield to include the United States – and hand Osama bin Laden an unearned victory long after his well-earned demise.” The president defended his action, writing that he signed the act, “chiefly because it authorizes funding for the defense of the United States and its interests abroad, crucial services for service members and their families, and vital national security programs that must be renewed.” Senior administration officials, who asked not to be named, told ABC News, “The president strongly believes that to detain American citizens in military custody infinitely without trial, would be a break with our traditions and values as a nation, and wants to make sure that any type of authorization coming from congress, complies with our Constitution, our rules of war and any applicable laws.” One official explained that President Obama does believe, however, that American citizens can be temporarily detained, and that the military has the right to capture and hold any citizen who is engaged in conflict against the United States. If various provisions in the law prove unworkable, the president could go back to Congress to ask for changes. “The president is going to adhere to the policies that he has held over the last three years, making sure that none of these congressional provisions impede the ability of the counterterrorism and military professional from keeping the country safe,” the official said. |

Get ready for the majority of our "freedoms" to be revoked, all in the name of fighting (nearly) non-existent terrorism.
P.S: I believe this post here is post #1 in 2012.

I didnt vote for Obama. And I am not ok with this. I would not be OK with this if someone who I voted for passed this. This is not ok, this isnt a partisan issue. The American public should be outraged. If anything there should be protests in the street about this. I would join the OWS guys to protest this. Ill join the Tea Party to protest this. Anyone protesting this I will join them to protest this.
Signing this bill with the language it has, has made a mockery of the constitution and apparently the people in charge no longer think the constitution is relevant. If this doesnt go to the supreme court I will be stunned. The ACLU should be all over this.

Yeah thats why they are pissed.
He over stepped his boundaries. I think I read you have to wait 3 days into the recess... Also Im assuming he didnt respind about the NDAA because there is nothing positive to say. Its not a partisan issue really. The person who signed it just happened to be a democrat. ALTHOUGH he did say he wouldnt pass anything like that, and it goes against everything he said he would do...

We can argue semantics all we want on the recess appointments on what is in session yada yada. To be fair, democrats did this with republicans during bush noted here. Republicans have a valid point that there is an issue with Obama bypassing the senate to put in his appointment. However, the recess appointment is more of a political check move to expose republicans, further damaging their reputation. Republicans said they had no beef with Cordray but over the powers of the CFPB. Cordray announced his agenda with the agency yesterday. By doing so, Cordray attributes the democrats on being the side of the American people. Now that republicans are against the CFPB, they are looking like they support the 1%. It is also confirms that republicans are c*ckblocking Obama from him getting anything done shown below.

I read about the Republicans blocking his nominations, but from what I understand one of the reasons they were blocking was to actually get some of the agencies shut down.

He said I was correct. Which was there is no defending it no matter who signed it in.
No one in their right mind can defend Obama, all they can do is say, "others have done it too" but does that make it right? What happened to "change"? This is just another reinforcement of campaign promises being bullshit, which is sad because a lot of people believed in him.

The pretend outrage on recess appointments is quite the crock. It has hinged for years on a number of things, including the definition of what is meant by recess. If congress isn't in recess, why won't it allow discussion on all of the items before it. If it is in recess, then the appointments are constitutional. Pick one.

Found a better link as to why there is a reason for the outrage, and it is merited. (about the appointments not the NDAA)
Check it. Ron Paul 2012

Says who? Someone who defined recess differently to suit their own purposes, contrary to the constitution in different ways?

When no business can be taken, nobody is there to vote, and nothing is being done other than an attempted procedural maneuver to try and prevent recess appointments. Now comes the legal challenge where this gets sorted out, and we find out how the current courts interpret the constitution in this area. Congress is playing a game (not the first time that game has been played by either side of the aisle), and there's a chance there will be more clarity on the recess discussion. Even the whole "three day" thing has nothing to do with the constitution, and is nothing other than convention that was adopted a few years back on what seemed to be a reasonable length of time by all concerned during that particular congress.

Nope. More reading here from a constitutional law prof here.
A bit more background here as well from the Senate itself. From the second page of that second doc: Quote:
For what it's worth, there are certainly arguments to be made on both sides here. Here's one essay that lays out a few convincing reasons why this is both appropriate and constitutional; here's another that lays out challenges to each of those reasons.

fantastic, thanks for the links.
edit *found another good one this part was interesting. "Article I, Section 5, of the Constitution states that neither house of Congress may adjourn for more than three days without the consent of the other house. The House of Representatives did not consent to a Senate recess of more than three days at the end of last year, and so the Senate, consistent with the requirements of the Constitution, must have some sort of session every few days." Edit #2. Your first link is saying the above doesnt matter. Very interesting. Im not a law expert so Im just reading, and seeing what will happen.
