In reply to the discussion: Obama Won’t Make Recess Appointments Today [View all]tavalon
(27,985 posts)Besides, Obama added a signing statement (which are suddenly great when he does it but were totally bogus when Bush the lesser did them) saying that his administration would never use the indefinite detainment clause. And since his administration is always, always going to be in office, there really is nothing to worry about. Even if the government feels like OWS could be classified as a terrorist organization and I'm sure they wouldn't (aren't you?), this administration, per Obama's signing statement, (even though signing statements hold no legal standing,) has said they won't indefinitely detain you without charging you, even if you are a terrorist working with the OWS, which isn't classified as a terrorist organization and certainly never would be, right?
So, you see, it was hyperbole. You and I have nothing to be concerned about.
Nothing at all.
