Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., noticed that to subject American citizens to arrest without warrant and to detain us without trial violates the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments of the Constitution. Feinstein proposed to specifically exempt American citizens from the NDAA's arrest policy.
Her clarification of the NDAA passed the Senate by a vote of 98 to 1. That's as bipartisan as it gets, even in good times. In these times, passage of Feinstein's clarification was a miracle of agreement.
Yet in the NDAA's final version, as signed by President Obama, American citizens are not exempt. How did that happen? [...]
The Obama White House specifically asked that U.S. citizens be subject to arrest without warrant and detention without trial.

Congressman Falls for The Onion's Planned Parenthood 'Abortionplex' Story
Meet the next rising Republican star...
Meet John Fleming, the unfortunate Republican U.S. Representative from Louisiana who made that wonderful and all-too-common mistake of thinking that an Onion article was real and telling his Facebook followers to read it.

Presidential Power. Also, Al Green Sucks.
Sales of Al Green up nearly 500% after Obama 'cover' - POLITICO.com:
Who knew that President Obama could make a 30-odd year old song shoot up the chartsagain?
Digital sales of Al Green's (hate dis guy - ed) 1972 hit "Let's Stay Together" (hate dis song - ed) are up 490 percent, since a video of the president singing a few bars at a fundraiser surfaced last week.
According to Nielsen SoundScan, the song was downloaded about 16,000 times last week — making it the best week for the song since digital sales data became available in 2003.
And that's the only Obama-Al Green (add dat to the nexus list - ed) news.
House Democrats, at a retreat in Maryland, presented President Obama with a CD of the caucus doing a rendition of the song. POLITICO's Seung Min Kim has more.
To which the Fungster says Boooooooooooo!
