Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Republicans Join Fight to Amend N.D.A.A.

In a welcome development, some House Republicans are backing efforts to amend a law some say could allow the President to detain American citizens indefinitely. The article below tells more.

I have not yet been able to review any specific proposed changes to the law, but I am glad to see bi-partisan support for common-sense modifications develop.

We do not need these loosely-worded bills which could allow for un-Constitutional detentions ordered on nothing more than Presidential surmise.
