Obama Keeps Fighting in Court to Jail Americans Indefinitely without Trial
President Barack Obama
In its legal fight to indefinitely jail Americans suspected of terrorist ties, the Obama administration has refused to give any ground in federal court, even dodging a judge’s questions about whether it has abided by a temporary order to not enforce the controversial law.
At the focus of the court battle is the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2012, which gave the government the power to arrest and detain without end anyone suspected of supporting terrorist organizations, including Americans in the U.S.
Civil libertarians challenged the law in federal court, and in May, Judge Katherine Forrest ordered a temporary injunction because, she said, the NDAA failed to “pass constitutional muster.”
Federal attorneys last week appealed the injunction in an effort to allow the government to use the NDAA in its fight against suspected terrorists. But during questioning by Forrest who asked if the administration had adhered to the injunction, lawyers from the U.S. Department of Justice refused to directly answer the question.
If it turns out the government has arrested anyone on NDAA grounds, the administration could be held in contempt of court.
The NDAA permits the military to hold any individual accused of having “substantially supported” al Qaeda, the Taliban, or “associated forces” until “the end of hostilities.” The law also allows the indefinite imprisonment of those who commit a “belligerent act” against the U.S.
In her ruling, Forrest noted: “An individual could run the risk of substantially supporting or directly supporting an associated force without even being aware that he or she was doing so.”

Obama wants vast powers to jail anyone who disagrees with him.
This is a seriously dangerous direction he wants to take us in.
He is consolidating power.

The Constitution gives all citizens the right to a swift and speedy trial.

Obama's complete disregard for the Constitution is the one main reason why this man needs to lose the next election. He is acting more like a dicatator everyday.

If he wins another 4 years, there will be an "American Spring".

"If it turns out the government has arrested anyone on NDAA grounds, the administration could be held in contempt of court." -- As if
1) that actually means anything tangible.
2) that's going to re-attach your fingernails.

As if Eric Holder would ever make Obama abide by the law.
The black panthers don't even have to obey the law.
And they know it.
