Barack Obama single handedly abolished the Bill of Rights with the flick of a pen yesterday while Americans’ focus was on bringing in the New Year.

The White House had threatened to veto an earlier version of the NDAA, but reversed course shortly before Congress voted on the final bill.
‘President Obama’s action today is a blight on his legacy because he will forever be known as the president who signed indefinite detention without charge or trial into law,’ said Anthony D. Romero, ACLU executive director. ‘The statute is particularly dangerous because it has no temporal or geographic limitations, and can be used by this and future presidents to militarily detain people captured far from any battlefield. The ACLU will fight worldwide detention authority wherever we can, be it in court, in Congress, or internationally…”
Better Keep Your Powder Dry! Were gonna need it
