<DIV>Obama has signed the clearly unconstitutional Military Detention Bill
(NDAA) - quietly, on New Year's Eve, while on vacation in Hawaii. He
and the congressional representatives who voted for it have violated their
oath to uphold the Constitution. It's not too much to suggest that this bill
resembles the Enabling Act of 23 March 1933.<BR><BR>"Will the bill hurt
Obama? Probably not too much, if at all. Liberals are never very energetic
in protecting constitutional rights. That’s more the province of
libertarians and other wackos like Ron Paul actually prepared to draw
lines in the sand in matters of principle" [Alex Cockburn].<BR><BR>"Think,
if you can, of a single instance in which a plainly written provision of the
Constitution has ever been denied. If by the mere force of numbers, a
majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional
right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution - certainly
would, if such right were a vital one" [Abraham Lincoln].<BR><BR>All the
more so if a minority - 1% - should through its agents deprive the majority
of a "clearly written constitutional right": the bill Obama signed today
is a direct assault on the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and
Eighth
Amendments.<BR><BR>--CGE<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Peace-discuss
