Conflicting legal interpretations of the bill are now more about whether military detentions would be mandatory or would the president still retain some discretion.
In sum, the wording appears to create a parallel military justice system that, theoretically, we are all subject to. All that would be needed is an allegation by someone that we assisted someone who in some way assisted someone else in some way. An actual terrorist act would not be needed – and neither would a trial by one’s peers as guaranteed by the Constitution to determine actual “guilt.”
Should you be tempted to dismiss this as “liberal fear-mongering,” take a look at this item from FoxNews.com with its gleeful headline: “Democrat-Controlled Senate Passes Constitution-Shredding Defense Authorization Bill”:
“The bill would require military custody of a suspect deemed to be a member of Al Qaeda or its affiliates and involved in plotting or committing attacks on the United States. … The legislation also would give the government the authority to have the military hold an individual suspected of terrorism indefinitely, without a trial.

If Fox news claims NDAA as a "constiution-shredding" Bill then the U.S. must have superseded the rank of a Police state
Fox news did criticized the NDAA as a "constituion-shredding" bill

The U.S. has Superseded the rank of a Police state


What then of our sixth amendment right ?
what kind of precedent does this follow from and set for the future ?

  1. Fascinating, I didn't know the criteria for being subject to this court was so ridiculous. This is frightening but in such blatant disregard of the constitution I can't imagine it ever standing up in court.
