In an effort to clarify concerns over not only the defense spending, but the Congress that drafted the Bill. They have become jokers. If they're so ready to give away authority, they should resign their seat and allow real Americans new opportunities to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States in their place.
While Congress may not have read the Bill before passage of it, I have inspected summeries of the Appropriations Bill. The spending and spending cuts included seem fair and mandatory. However, the Bill could have been written without passages that force an American President to choose between National Security and the rights of the people. If the Bill is vetoed, it makes the president weak on national security, and if signed into law, makes the President weak on civil liberties.
I for one think that the Defense Appropriations Act fy 2012 could have avoided this issue by Appropriating spending without appropriating authority to detain Americans without probable cause. I also believe that the rights of the people granted in the constitution help ensure and strengthen National Security. If Americans are forced to live with fears for our own government and military, security is compromised and trust, faith and hope is lost.
The main inclusions that are fundamentally unsound include the detention provisions in Sections 1021 and 1022 that asserts an extraordinary power to subject U.S. citizens to military detention.
H.R. 1540, the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2012. Examination the full ramifications of Sections 1021 and 1022 clearly contains language that could potentially undermine our most fundamental civil rights and liberties. The same rights and liberties that strengthen our National Security. The same rights and liberties granted in the the Constitution of the United States.
The language is so abusive to the Constitution and the People that, FBI Director Robert Mueller voiced continued concerns about the revised language. If it concerns the Director of the FBI, it should concern us all.
