US Senate passes bill that ends Bill of Rights... Or does it? - Polidicks

[quote]In a stunning move that has civil libertarians stuttering with disbelief, the U.S. Senate has just passed a bill that effectively ends the Bill of Rights in America. This bill, passed late last night in a 93-7 vote, declares the entire USA to be a “battleground” upon which U.S. military forces can operate with impunity, overriding Posse Comitatus and granting the military the unchecked power to arrest, detain, interrogate and even assassinate U.S. citizens with impunity. It’s being called the most traitorous act ever witnessed in the Senate, and the language of the bill is cleverly designed to make you think it doesn’t apply to Americans, but toward the end of the bill it essentially says it can apply to Americans “if we want it to.” Even WIRED magazine was outraged at this bill, reporting: …the detention mandate to use indefinite military detention in terrorism cases isn’t limited to foreigners. It’s confusing, because two different sections of the bill seem to contradict each other, but in the judgment of the University of Texas’ Robert Chesney — a nonpartisan authority on military detention — “U.S. citizens are included in the grant of detention authority.” [url]http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/12/senate-military-detention/[/url] The passage of this law is nothing less than an outright declaration of WAR against the American People by the military-connected power elite. If this is signed into law, it will shred the remaining tenants of the Bill of Rights and unleash upon America a total military dictatorship, complete with secret arrests, secret prisons, unlawful interrogations, indefinite detainment without ever being charged with a crime, the torture of Americans and even the “legitimate assassination” of U.S. citizens on right here on American soil! If you have not yet woken up to the reality of the police state we’ve been warning you about, I hope you realize we are fast running out of time. Once this becomes law, you have no rights whatsoever in America — no due process, no First Amendment speech rights, no right to remain silent, nothing.

Whether or not it's true I guess we just have to wait and see. Either way, ending the Bill of Rights is fucking retarded. Ope. Im supa late i think. if so, Delete this post mods, please :<

It will be unconstitutional. Supreme court will most likely strike it down.

[QUOTE=hegrec;33572899]It will be unconstitutional. Supreme court will most likely strike it down.[/QUOTE] I certainly hope so..

I was planning on going to canada, you dont have to help my decision, US.

I hear that this is a red herring to cover up ACTA/Protect Ip act.

I'm tired of people misrepresenting and exaggerating this bill. Its ridiculous and wrong, yes, but it is not what most people are making it out to be. It does not extend to legal residents, meaning citizens and lawful foreign travelers. It does not suspend the bill of rights or anything. Its a massive amount of bullshit around it.

Use. The. Fucking. Search. Button. THANK. YOU.

I'm not saying it's a good bill, but if I had a dollar for every bill described as "An End to the Bill of Rights", I would be rich.

Military arresting, detaining, and interrogating us? Kinky, I like that.

Stop saying you are moving to Canada you Americans, even if something as horrid as you would make this out to be was passed, I really doubt many of you (if any, at all) will actually emigrate from the United States. Besides, wouldn't there be an age restriction for such a thing anyways? Even if it's 16, more than half of American Facepunchers wouldn't be legally allowed to anyways.
