Obama nullifies Bill of Rights, declares all of America a military battl

[Tom Sawyer]

I've been wondering who does one call, what department will make someone disappear down the rabbit hole?

It just happens to be your lucky day. OK, Mr Sawyer, from your faux freedom-ringing cackle and snide comment you shall get your wish. There will be one less poster on this slow-dying forum comprised of 5-6 people. Addios.

Well Johnson screws me over again.  lol

I was not referring to anyone here "disappearing down the rabbit hole'. Sorry for the misunderstanding Littlehawk. I was honestly wondering what department etc. is responsible for getting someone disappeared.

As to the faux freedom-ringing cackle... I've always thought I was more like a braying jackass, but a righteous braying jackass of FREEDOM!

[Becky Thatcher]

That's right, baby, you're MY righteous braying jackass of Freedom!

Braying like a jackass??!!  While eating crackers too I bet.

But always careful to brush the crumbs off the sheets

[Jim Johnson]

I think it's self-righteous to call yourself righteous... I could be wrong.

Somewhere in this thread there's a joke about the Riteous Brothers and I'm gonna find it....I swear I will.

I can't believe I missed this thread.   And some guy left our forum because of a comment not even directed at him

And it happens all over again.............

Appeals Court Restores NDAA's Indefinite Detention Provisions
An appeals court has rejected a previous judge's ruling that the government be barred from enforcing the NDAA provisions

by John Glaser, October 03, 2012

A federal appeals court of three Obama-appointed judges has rejected a previous ruling barring the government from enforcing the indefinite detention provisions in a recent national defense bill.

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.

Judge Katherine B. Forrest last month blocked the government from enforcing those particular statutes on grounds that they violate Constitutionally guaranteed rights to due process, in a case brought against the government by journalists and academics including Chris Hedges, Daniel Ellsberg, and Noam Chomsky.

The Obama administration immediately appealed Forrest's ruling, asking for an "immediate stay," or suspension of the case's proceedings. When Forrest denied the request, the government went to the Second US Court of Appeals in Manhattan and asked another judge for an emergency stay, which Judge Raymond J. Lohier granted.

The latest appeals court extended the stay, undermining Judge Forrest's ruling that the government should be barred from enforcing the law.

"We conclude that the public interest weighs in favor of granting the government's motion for a stay," Appeals Court Judges Denny Chin, Raymond Lohier and Christopher Droney wrote in a statement on their ruling.

The appeals court ruled that, since the government has promised that citizens, journalists, and activists are not in danger of being detained as a result of this law, it is unnecessary to block its enforcement.

Both parties in the case have been directed by the court to file reply briefs in the next few months, through to December, after which a new calendar date will be scheduled to argue the case again. So, at least for the next few months, the NDAA's detention provisions are in effect.
