NDAA in the House
I'm pissed about sections 1021 and 1022 of the NDAA. Extrajudicial detention has been a pet issue of mine for a long time. It's bad if George Bush does it, and it's bad if Obama does it. But who exactly did what? Here's the rough overview showing for how NDAA became law.
§1021 was added to NDAA in the House by H.AMDT.325, sponsored by Rep Connie ( Read more... )

i am horrified.
appalled.
and i've lost any faith i ever had in obama.
i'm keenly aware it was a poison pill attached to much broader legislation, a poison pill planted by GOP delegates... and he doesn't want to look like hes not playing ball in an election year....

So by slandering me with the accusation that I'm a fan of police states you've actually said quite a bit worse than whatever you could say about my mom. Maybe I'm a bit touchy about this because I just spent a week traveling in a real actual police state, where people don't have the luxury of misunderstanding the online political ( ... )
