When NDAA was passed. Obama signed the bill and commited that his administration would not use indefinite detention on US Citizens. The last year has been a fight in the House to pass an ammendment removing indefinite detention.

12/30/12 NDAA Ammendment was passed 67 to 29 in the House. The bill went down party lines. Dem voting to accept and Republicans to reject. There was about 4 that crossed over (aka Repub accepting and 4 Dems rejecting) one of these was Ron Paul. "Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), an avid critic of the NDAA, said the passing of Feinstein’s amendment has signaled a “victory” in a year-long effort to keep indefinite detention without charge or trial off the books"

Though it appears Prez Obama does have a problem with this bill because it exempts not only US Citizens but foreigners. I'd encourage him to sign it. If we're to be the leader in respect and freedom we need to lead with actions and legislation.

Anyone who rejected this is a scumbag. Thank goodness for Rand Paul here.
