How to argue Obama didn't repeal

Habeas Corpus in the 2014 NDAA? I'm in an online argument with a Stein fan.

1. Because it doesn't mention habeas corpus and it explicitly states

it doesn't increase the ability of the government to detain anyone.

Federal courts have ruled it doesn't increase the ability of the government to detain citizens.

The Court of Appeals overturned Forrest’s decision in a 60-page ruling[150] and lifted her injunction, saying that Christopher Hedges and another plaintiff weren’t eligible to challenge the law because it “simply says nothing about the government’s authority to detain citizens."

...

“Section 1021(e) provides that Section 1021 just does not speak — one way or the other — to the government’s authority to detain citizens, lawful resident aliens or any other persons captured or arrested in the United States,” the court ruled.[

Suspending habeas corpus requires an explicit act from congress. This is not such an act.
