My comment is What happened to Obama's promise of a transparent goverment?

hahahhahahahahhahaha


Fart in the wind, form before the words had scrolled off his teleprompter. Just a fart in the wind.

I am amazed he was able to keep a straight face when delivering that line of bull shit, or any of the other "promises"

I know I just felt it had to be mentioned. Gitmo's camps they are closed right? Oh that's right not yet, but back in tune with the Original Post. This is not a good thing.

Well, nothing will be changed with the majority of Americans sitting around complaining about how fucked we are. I'm really sick and tired of hearing people talk about how doomed we are. Now, I'm not speaking specifically to anyone who has posted in this thread because I've seen examples of this everywhere, especially in the past couple of years and in college. I dont know about anyone else, but I look forward to the future of our country, and I have faith that we can fix the problems we see so clearly. I do not have any expertise in politics, so I apologize for my broad statements. But with my knowledge I've gained studying Environmental Policy, this same idea of
"we're fucked" applies to our relationship with the Earth. I donno, I've been drinking so I'm kind of losing my train of thought. anyways, thats just my opinion.

Edit: Realized I was way off topic. Do you really think they're just gonna start locking up law abiding citizens?
ahhh fuck it, i usually don't post in the politics section because my thoughts are all over the place. And I try not to speak about things I know nothing about. My senior year English teacher used to say to us: "Sometimes it's better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." (I think its a shakespeare quote) Anyways, I don't usually post because like i said before, I dont know enough about politics to confidently state my opinion.

I doubt that anyone responding has read the actual text of the bill.
Sections 1031 and 1032 exempt US citizens.

That's not to say that the bill has problems, but that's a different animal from indefinite detention of citizens (law abiding or otherwise).

1031 & 1032 WERE REMOVED at the request of the Obama Admin FYI. Try and keep up please :)

Thought I posted this before in here before huh guess not..... I am no fan of Levin but anyway




Rusty your quote is not Shakespeare But Abe Lincoln, is who its mostly attributed to, all though Mark Twain gets the credit from time to time Jefferson and Franklin have similar quotes (that both escape right now) as well. Its a old saying that goes back a very long time.

So what he posted is less relevant because it was published on YouTube? Get your head out of your ass. The citation in 1031 saying that U.S. Citizens are exempt from (unlawful) imprisonment without a trial or regard to time is was removed at the behest of the President's Administration AFTER it was approved by the committee that oversee's the wording you so eloquently deny exists.


P.S.

Fucking beautiful cars in your sig...

Kinda hard to argue with a Sitting US senator that heads the committee that approved the version you are reading, says in HIS OWN WORDS, THEY REMOVED those provisions on the version that the FULL Senate passed and went on to the POTUS now isnt it???

After turning public sentiment against the Vietnam war, the government vowed to never let the people have such power again. We are no longer allowed to see the body bags being unloaded, as we did all through the sixties. They sanitize the view we get from the front lines. They shut down Occupy sites, and pepper spray peaceful demonstrators, all with no repercussions. All we can do is vote the bums out, and let the new bums in. Meet the new boss... I bug my congress... dork all the time through Congress.org. Makes it easy to keep tabs on the bastards, and continually bug them. Check it out.

Criminology, law and society.

But it's not relevant as even freshman students know better than to use a YouTube edited hype piece for a source for government documents. You have some issues if you think anyone should take your posts with anything other than bs at this point.

Again sitting US senators OWN WORDS hard to argue with that, his OWN WORDS, you think someone dubbed something other than what Mr Levin said during his rant to the Senate floor and then posted it to youtube when its got all the Cspan watermarks ???
