Come now. I starred your post - but for its newsworthiness, not your commentary.

Are we TRULY expected to believe you when you say "I am shocked"?

You're pro-big-government. "Pro-big-government" means "anti-freedom," and this latest bill is exactly what one gets when government grows to such mammoth proportions. "Govern" literally means to reign in liberties.

This is what big government proponents have sought all along. So, your protests NOW just seems a tad insincere.

You want to protest about something? Protest about the PATRIOT ACT. Oh, yeah. You did - in the 2008 campaign. But after your side won, you said nothing more about it - and then renewed it in 2011.

That's just pathetic.

So, stow that moral outrage over the indefinite detention bill. You've already demonstrated that you don't have any.

I've been thinking about this. IMO, this would be a reason to vote for someone else, if the candidate didn't prescribe to this law.

This act, IMO, changes what America stands for & apart from dictatorships.
I am shocked I haven't heard much outrage over this, small pockets, and much of the media has been mute.

I have learned 93 democrats & 43 of republicans in the House voted against this.

Now, I also believe before this would be 'used', the Supreme's would have a chance to squash this.
At this time I don't know how they would come down on it? I would hope Scalia would oppose it, I wonder about Alito & Thomas & Roberts?

Even if President Obama couldn’t listen to the words of caution coming from the likes of Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and FBI chief Robert Mueller, 136 members of the House of Representatives registered their disapproval of the bill in its final go-round, and 13 senators joined them. Six Republican senators dissented, including Rand Paul and Jim DeMint, and an equal number of Democrats, including Al Franken and Dick Durbin, along with Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders. As for the House, the breakdown was 93 Democrats and 43 Republicans. Good to know they were pushing back against this alarming, and ultimately successful, assault on Americans’ most sacred rights, even when the president failed to do his part. —KA
