You are familiar with the NDAA section 1021 providing for the indefinite detention of US citizens with neither trial nor representation? It sort of kills the 4th and 6th Amendments. But more importantly, Obama signed it twice and when Chris Hedges et al. took Obama to court over it, Obama sent lawyers to defend it and even to overturn the initial "unConstituional" ruling by a judge. Obama fought for the right to deprive US citizens of our right to trial and representation, to effectively Gitmo anyone who falls under the increasingly fuzzy legislation against us.
So why hasn't he paid such attention to ALEC, or the TPP, or or or or (see the OP) ?
Your autosignature says that you are anti-Fascist. Do you know Mussolini defined Fascism as a merger of state and corporate power? As in "citizens united", ALEC, and the TPP, mentioned at the top of my OP? Yet Obama does nothing to oppose them at any effective level. Except to continue handing our tax dollars to them at an incredible pace, and even to directly protect them. The links are in my OP.
