This is it, this is the blog I've promised for a while but was waiting until I had our new desktop PC ready to blog with. We don't but this needs to be written now. Senate Bill 1867 passed last night. What is 1867?
S. 1867 is a bill that has both the left, far left, right, and far right standing together in opinion that it is an evil and bad bill. This was drafted by politicians Carl Levin and John McCain. I'm not a fan of either. You can read some of the damaging aspects of it here. It is an open affront to the sixth amendment guaranteeing American citizens the right to a trial.
1867 authorizes the military, even on American soil to detain indefinitely terrorism suspects...even citizens suspected of terrorism. Citizens dear reader meaning you. If they suspect you, don't like you, think you smell funny they can hold you forever and you will NEVER have your day in court to say otherwise. I've been looking at left leaning sites and right, both really are in agreement about this. It's bad.
The good news? A bill will have to get passed the House in order for it to get to the president to become law. As far as I know it hasn't yet but you can bet there are politicians working on it now. There are those who do not have your best interest at heart working feverishly to hide similar language in their bill.
Now for a part that originally prompted me to want to write this a while back. I can't add much to it, they do a great job on their own in announcing what they are planning. Once you have 1867 in mind and add it to what you are about to watch I believe you'll will have your heart jump at the potential magnitude of what's at stake.
Here it is and it runs six minutes and twenty nine seconds, please watch it until the end, that's where it twists into a nightmare for all of us. It's simply chilling.
