NDAA 1031

Why This Is Important

UPDATE: Obama administration officially states he is signing the NDAA. House of Representatives have submitted for his signature. (7:10PM ET, 12/14).

The President will promptly sign NDAA Section 1031 into law, codifying who is eligible for "Detention under the law of war without trial." Without a trial, there is no chance to tell a judge the Executive Branch's evidence is bogus. The worst thing about this law is that it originally exempted U.S. citizens, but now it is sadly "agnostic" because the Obama administration asked to remove the exemption for citizens. See the C-SPAN video clip showing this fact:
