Supreme Court green lights detention of Americans Lets stand arrests of 'anyone viewed as a troublemaker' April 20, 2014 Bob Unruh
A decision by the U.S. Supreme Court means the federal government now has an open door to “detain as a threat to national security anyone viewed as a troublemaker,” according to critics.
The high court this week refused to review an appeals court decision that said the president and U.S. military can arrest and indefinitely detain individuals.
The firm of William J. Olson, P.C., which filed a friend-of-the court brief asking the court to step in, noted that not a single justice dissented from the denial of the request for review.
“The court ducked, having no appetite to confront both political parties in order to protect the citizens from military detention,” the legal team said in a statement to WND. “The government has won, creating a tragic moment for the people – and what will someday be viewed as an embarrassment for the court.”
WND reported when the indefinite detention provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act were adopted and later challenged in court.
The controversial provision authorizes the military, under presidential authority, to arrest, kidnap, detain without trial and hold indefinitely American citizens thought to “represent an enduring security threat to the United States.”
This ain't so bad. Those Guantanamo terrorists seem to be living pretty good with special diets and diversions on a vacation like setting. With the price of food and housing anymore, this could be a nice option for people trying to save some money. I'm guessing all you will need to do is to fly a Gadsden.
