Very scary indeed. Especially this decision:
The military can arrest and detain American citizens. In refusing to hear Hedges v. Obama (2014), a legal challenge to the indefinite detention provision of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA), the Supreme Court affirmed that the President and the U.S. military can arrest and indefinitely detain individuals, including American citizens. In so doing, the high court also passed up an opportunity to overturn its 1944 Korematsu v. United States ruling allowing for the internment of Japanese-Americans in concentration camps.
Not only can citizens be arrested and held indefinitely, there is no requirement to tell the person what he or she is charged with.
When this was signed in secret by Obama in 2012 I was horrified that an alleged Constitutional scholar would sign such a law.
We hear the word "freedom" on the tv but the reality is that the US has become a near total police state.
And the younger generation is too busy getting their tats to notice or care.
