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.

This is probably nothing to worry about (cont'ing)

I suck, but you voted for me, so who's really to blame?
Bush remorseful on financial crisis: 'I'm sorry it's happening...also, I SUCK'
Asked if he would have ordered the U.S.-led invasion if intelligence reports had accurately indicated that Saddam did not have the weapons, Bush replied: "You know, that's an interesting question. That is a do-over that I can't do. It's hard for me to speculate."
Phokk You.
"I think I was unprepared for war," he said. "In other words, I didn't campaign and say, `Please vote for me, I'll be able to handle an attack.' In other words, I didn't anticipate war. Presidents — one of the things about the modern presidency is that the unexpected will happen."
Interesting. I wonder who started the war...anybody know?
As he leaves office, Bush said he felt responsible for the economic downturn because it's occurring on his watch, but he added: "I think when the history of this period is written, people will realize a lot of the decisions that were made on Wall Street took place over a decade or so" before he became president.
I knew it - all Clinton's fault. Carter, too, that phokk.
Later in the interview, he said: "I can't guarantee that we'll get all our money back, but it's conceivable we could."
Said the man who couldn't find oil in Texas, or his ass with both hands.
