Does this scare the holy living hell out of anyone else?
I don't go in for conspiracy theories, and I'm not a big fan of fear-mongering either, but this terrifies me. Our legal system has given the office of the President the authority to detain ANYONE in the U.S. - including legal citizens - indefinitely and without bringing charges against them. I for one will not be sleeping very well for a long time.
All of the Founding Fathers of this country are rolling in their graves right now, and I believe if you listen closely you can hear Thomas Jefferson screaming in anguish as we allow the 4th Circuit Court to strangle the Bill of Rights and then rape its corpse.
