yes. it overturns 200 years of law that kept the military out of demoestic policing.

Anyone who dissents is in threat. The legislation, as the dumped emails by Wikileaks from the security firm Stafford illustrated, allows the state to tie a legitimate dissident group to terrorism and strip them of their right of dissent. In the emails we saw the group US Day Of Rage linked to Al Qaeda. This is the template they will follow.

the whole thing is so vague they can use it anyway they want, which is why it was written with a series of nebulous terms including "associated forces."

Thanks. That means a lot.

If the Obama administration simply appealed it, as we expected, it would have raised this red flag. But since they were so aggressive it means that once Judge Forrest declared the law invalid, if they were using it, as we expect, they could be held in contempt of court. This was quite disturbing, for it means, I suspect, that U.S. citizens, probably dual nationals, are being held in military detention facilities almost certainly overseas and maybe at home.
