Breaking News: Obama to sign NDAA bill BUT also will issue a signing statement

US Citizens without even charging them. Detaining them indefinitely would have been better than that, at least there would have been hope that someday when we get a government that actually respects the rule of law and restores it, they might get a fair trial and might even have been found to be 'not guilty'. But they are dead so we will never know.

So, I do not feel safe at all. He should veto it as so many people have asked him to do. That would take real leadership though. A signing statement means nothing. It's an acknowledgement though that he knows he should not be signing away our Constitutional Rights, which in some ways is even more disturbing.

We have a Constitution for a reason. The FFs trusted NO ONE, including themselves as Thomas Jefferson said, with the kind of power entrusted to the POTUS. Now, we are giving presidents the powers of a king.

These powers will go to a Republican president also. HE had a chance to prevent that, just one more disappointment, although to be honest, I don't expect much anymore.
