In his speech, Paul hit his marks, talking about withdrawing from Afghanistan, shrinking the size of the federal government, warning about the invasion of personal privacy on the Internet, and criticizing President Obama for signing the recent Defense Authorization Act, which, he said, could lead to the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens.

Indiana legislators disagree, vote in favor

By MICHAEL RESCHKE michael.reschke@newsandtribune.com

As a resident of Southern Indiana and an American citizen, if you’re accused of a crime you have the right to a trial, right?

Well, some believe a bill that has passed the U.S. House and Senate will allow the United States government to pick up anyone, anywhere and detain them.

The National Defense Authorization Act has been criticized by Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union, among other groups, because they believe the language regarding detainment is unclear and will therefore allow U.S. citizens suspected of terrorist activities to be held indefinitely without trial. Spokespeople for Indiana Republican Sens. Richard Lugar and Dan Coats, along with Rep. Todd Young, R-Ind. — who all voted in favor of the bill — have said the language is clear and exempts U.S. citizens from the detainment provisions of the bill.

The National Defense Authorization Act is the Greatest Threat to Civil Liberties Americans Face

If Obama does one thing for the remainder of his presidency let it be a veto of the National Defense Authorization Act – a law recently passed by the Senate which would place domestic terror investigations and interrogations into the hands of the military and which would open the door for trial-free, indefinite detention of anyone, including American citizens, so long as the government calls them terrorists.

Ben Swann Reality Check: Obama Administration Demanded Power to Detain US Citizens

Updated: The day President Obama signs the NDAA, I will remember this…

When President Obama puts his signature to the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), I will be remembering with much regret four years back.

As you probably know the NDAA allows for the indefinite detention of anyone, including Americans and legal residents, without charge and without trial. It shreds our Bill of Rights right down to it’s core. And it is frightening. And he will sign it.

Let me refresh everyone’s collective memory, so you can understand the depth of my sadness, and the firmness of my resolve to never be fooled and used again.

“Guantánamo Forever?” – Congress Passes $662 Billion Defense Bill, Aka The NDAA

admin — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 03:02:31 +0000

Congress just passed the National Defense Authorization Act in a 283-to-136 vote. 190 Republicans and 93 Democrats voted for; 43 Republicans and 93 Democrats voted “against.” Prepare to be arrested, without charge, simply because someone “up there” believes you engage in “terroristy” stuff. Good luck proving them wrong.
