Federal appeals court decimates Constitution, rules government can indefinitely detain citizens at will
The Leviathan, through its various bureaucracies and branches, is continuing to chip away at our Constitution, most recently in the form of a ruling from a federal appeals court claiming that, under the Obama administration’s most recent and most onerous National Defense Authorization Act, American citizens can be held indefinitely.
The ruling by a three-judge motions panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit essentially extended an “emergency” stay of a lower district court judge’s previous order that had struck down the defense bill provision.
In September, Infowars.com reported, U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest issued an order permanently blocking the NDAA provision, ruling that “First Amendment rights have already been harmed and will be harmed by the prospect of (the law) being enforced.”
However, the Obama Administration moved to appeal the ruling, attempting in essence to reinstate the indefinite detention provision, characterizing Forrest’s ruling – amazingly enough – as unconstitutional.
