"suspension of habeas corpus if a person is suspected of terrorism"

Perhaps Obama is going to have all the congressional (R)'s arrested?

Would the fact Obama is FOR what you think he's against change your partisan defense of Obama?

Obama is FOR detaining American citizens indefinitely without a trial.

koan,
you agree with me that this law which the Congress passed and Obama is going to sign is a one way path to the destruction of everything we fought for in this country.

And yet, your last line in the post was that it's all the GOP's fault. Well, it is true that they are jerks and we expect that of them. But WHY IN HELL IS OBAMA SIGNING THIS LAW? Don't you hold him accountable as well?

I vote for him in part because he said we should not succumb to the false choice of security versus our ideals...that we should never compromise our ideals. And yet, he's about to sign the damned law. WTF!

And how can you continue to support Obama if he signs that law? It is literally against everything you and I believe in.
