WTF is going on in the US Senate?

Read sections 1031 and 1032 of the Defense Authorization Bill.

Let me put it like this.  Both Right winger and Left wingers are up in arms and alarmed by the language.  I've said it before and I'll say it again.  McCain's use by date has expired (Levin's too).

Time to put that guy out to pasture!

The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world. Even Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) raised his concerns about the NDAA detention provisions during last night’s Republican debate. The power is so broad that even U.S. citizens could be swept up by the military and the military could be used far from any battlefield, even within the United States itself.
The worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial provision is in S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill, which will be on the Senate floor on Monday. The bill was drafted in secret by Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) and passed in a closed-door committee meeting, without even a single hearing.
Full disclosure.

I'm in the preparedness community.  FEMA says have 7 days of food and water.  I have a bit more.  You believe in the Constitution.  I'm in love with the 2nd Amendment.  You say republican, I say Conservative.

Just sayin.
