Obama to sign indefinite detention bill into law

Its official! There are no more civil liberties in the US if the President decrees otherwise. Doesn’t matter if you are a US citizen and it doesn’t even matter if you are on Constitution Avenue in Washington, DC, if the President declares you an unperson, an unperson you are!
Of course, as the article goes on at great length to detail, the new law alters exactly nothing with respect to what the President has already been doing, but now it has full legal support. The last possible point of contention would be the Supreme Court, but I doubt it has the will to contradict the two Presidents that have worked so hard to turn our country into a police state, so here we are, for the foreseeable future.
Once the OWS people start being rounded up, how much longer until Obama declares martial law? I thought Bush Jr. might have tried it, but I suspect if anyone will do it it will be Obama. The last time there was a law like this it was ‘limited’ to communists. At least there was a single ideology to point at; terrorism means everything and nothing, thus can be applied to anyone at any time. Want to run against Obama? You are a damn terrorist, off to Guantanamo for you! Dare to criticize the President (or, indeed, anyone in his party)? Off with your head! That should give pause to Romney and Gingrich; if they get too successful, off to the camps!
