The rapidity at which you change subjects makes facing the facts a task measured in microseconds. My reaction time simply isn't that fast.
As was the Patriot Act.
Good question. It should be noted that this was a bi-partisan embarressment.
Bottom line is that Obama opposed the detention measure, but had to accept it to avoid a gap in military funding. Obama attached to it one of the few signing statements that he has issued: "My administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens … Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a nation."
In other words, if you want to bitch about this provision, don't blame Obama.
That's because "progressivism" exists on both sides of the political isle, and IMHO is a disease in this country. Problem is, that we have an example in Europe as to what this does unchecked, yet we ignore it and barrel faster down that track.

Authoritarianism isn't progressivism.
(And it's "aisle.")
Authoritarianism is not Progressivism, that's true, However, Progressivism can indeed be Authoritarian.
And I prefer Isle, as in "the isle of kooks."
Since I have not materially participated in the discussion you are having with yourself, I am at a loss to see how the consistency of my beliefs have been determined (other than conjured via strawman), and I must advise that attacking me personally will still not prompt me to address your strawman.At one time while often times disagreeing with you I thought you were at least consistant in your beliefs. That's something I respect. I see where I was wrong.The rapidity at which you change subjects makes facing the facts a task measured in microseconds. My reaction time simply isn't that fast.Right, we wouldn't want to force you to actually face the facts.You're having a nice conversation with yourself... don't let me interrupt.So we'll agree that the Constitution has no relevance to what Obama will do. (and who knows about future presidents)You change the subject a lot, don't you?There are no provisions in the Constitution that would allow a president to target an American citizen for death without due process either.Yeah, well, read the Constitution then get back to us on how long that's been going on :roll:When a law is anyting but absolutely clear, a politician will use it however they wish and claim it was their interpretation of the bill.
It can be, but it doesn't have to be. And other ideologies can also be. So your comment was completely nonsensical. If you meant authoritarian, you should have said "authoritarian."
Sure you do.

heh, heh, heh....Cute....At least you libs are good for something.
I don't consider myself a "lib." Nor do I consider comments about ideology, or personal observations, to be worth anything.
I do value good spelling.
Then may I suggest that you avail yourself someplace where someone gives a crap?
You seem to give a crap - you brought it up after all.
No, see obviously I do care enough about the topic to respond, what I don't give two ****s about is what you happen to think, post, or care about...Clear?
Then why did he issue a signing statement?I love how liberal progressives lie. For a President who values extraordinary rendition and placing assassination orders on Americans, Obama didn't have any reservations signing this bill.

Mr. President, either you're lying about why you signed this bill, or you're a coward. Either you're happy the Presidency has a new tool to put in the chest, or you didn't have the guts to tell Congress to send you an authorization bill without that junk attached. Either Congress sent it to you knowing you'd be pleased to sign it despite all of your public bellyaching, or they knew they had you outgunned.
Either way, you're an embarrassment to the office and to the country. You sold us out. Go **** yourself.
Then why did he issue a signing statement?
What we need is a liberal.
