under the Act, “an American citizen can be fingered as a terrorist, and with what proof? No proof. All you need is the word of the attorney general or maybe the president himself. You can then be locked up without access to a lawyer, and then tried by military tribunal and even executed.
While the comparison is extreme, the law is as bad as the OP states. One of my disappointments with Obama... I wanted it repealed.
Once freedom is taken away it is a revolt that will bring it back. American Spring anyone?
