So it took a democrat using the methods installed by a republican for other republicans to realize its unconstitutionality. I'm okay with this.

Can you point to where Obama stated he needed and/or will use this power? I can't find it.

I somehow doubt the folks running the detention centers care what the law says. It didn't matter before the law passed.

I'll be that person.

Repubtards wrote that part of the bill into the NDAA in the first place. All Obama did was not veto then, and then when it came up for court, his instructed his lawyers not to defend it (hence the no witnesses, no statements, no answering questions).

Heh. Nice tactic. Let the GOP pass whatever it wants, then refuse to defend it in court. A form of government nullification as opposed to jury nullification?

no one care about the constitution anymore really. It's more of a historical document like the magna carta or the mayflower compact. Technology is moving too fast to keep up with these old philosophies.

She didnt' go nearly far enough.

You cannot detain someone because you "THE LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST ALLMIGHTY GOD AND HIS FATHER AND GHOST SAYS YOU TERRERISTISMIMS!"

You can detain someone when they commit a farking crime, not because they have a farking membership card to a social group.

But, his whole campaign was dedicated to CLOSING Gitmo then backed out of it and adopted the "don't ask, don't tell" clause which you concurred above.
It doesn't matter who wrote it...he was supposed to veto the bill and shut down the facility. My cousin is heading there in a few months (Army)...sounds like it's still open to me.

Can you point to where Obama stated he needed and/or will use this power? I can't find it.


let's have some fun...

Can't you point to where Obama stated no president should ever need or want to use this power?

If this is unnecessary, then why let it come to pass?

If this could be abused by someone in the future, then why let it come to pass?

If I have a gun pointed at your head, can you point to where I would need and/or will use the power in my finger to pull the trigger? so why worry or call the police about me having a gun pointed at your head?

Do you know what an assist is in sports? Why should I, as a defender, worry about you passing the ball to someone who is open underneath the basket if you have no need to shoot nor the will to do so, so why do you care if you pass him the ball?

If this happens, I would enjoy it greatly if Obama were to use the law to indefinitely detain those 5 Justices.

He is right. Our laws stopped being based on the constitution a long time ago, we are now have a common law based system like England.

He tried to close Gitmo and send the detainees to a maximum security prison in the middle of nowhere. Guess who cut the budget for that move to $0.

Due process is a freaking joke, and barely provides protection. Especially with administrative agencies.

A chilling effect on speech is easier to show. Although scotus is extremely hostile towards those claims as can be seen from the material support statute they upheld.

Oh, gee, I dunno, did you read the bill that it was attached to? You know, the defense spending bill?

Sometimes you have to sign the bill, make your signing statement, and then have your DoJ refuse to defend the law.

You obviously didn't pay attention to what happen when he tried to do it. Congress, bunch of cowards that they are, denied all funding for it. As a result, he couldn't move the inmates to a proper facility.

Well, if an American citizen is in a war zone riding in a car with 3 other terrorists, that's his problem, isn't it.
