My point was/is how can it be a Obama Law? When it was during the Bush years?
Bush would have jailed 500,000 Americans This is what we get with having "bad" links posted.
Presidents do not enact laws, Congress does. It was neither Bush's nor Obama's law since IT NEVER BECAME LAW!
Basic Civics 101: Legislation must be passed by BOTH Houses of Congress to become law. See Article I, Section 7, Clause 2 of the US Constitution. The bill passed the House in the 110th Congress, but never even made it to the floor of the Senate for a vote. As soon as the 110th Session ended, all bills introduced during that session that did not pass both Houses of Congress died.
There was never any problems with the links posted. The problem was comprehending that bills not passed by both Houses of Congress in prior Sessions do not carry forward to the next Session unless they are reintroduced. This bill has not been reintroduced in the 111th Session of Congress. Hence, the bill has ceased to exist.
The President (neither Bush nor Obama) did not put forth this law;
This is the 111th Session of Congress, not the 110th Session. No such bill exists in the 111th Session of Congress;
The bill never passed the Senate in 2007 or 2008. It languished in the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs where it died;
The Philip Giraldi quote in the article is three years old; and
The House is responsible for the most radical of all legislation introduced. Fortunately, the vast number of those bills never become law. There is less than a 1 in 20 chance of any bill introduced in the House becoming law.
ok all good and well points, but why would this law be brought back into question by the administration who wanted to bring us a "change" that we all could beleive in?...lol...change my as@
Ummm...given the current overcrowding in the prison system,where would all the new "convicts" be placed?
OP, if you think about the all logistics behind something like that law,you'll see why that article is ridiculous.
Or maybe you won't.
Concentration camps. Just ask the millions of Japanese,Italian and German people that were Americans and were locked up during ww2.
Could you go any further to the right to come up with a 'source' for this??
"the source" will likely be "The delusional musings of Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman and Rush Limbaugh". . . . .defenders and protectors of an "Imaginary America" that never was. . . . . ...

What part of "it is not law" did you not understand? The bill died in committee two years ago and was never reintroduced.
