Read this. I sure hope we know what we are doing. It's hard to believe that our representatives would so quickly relinquish our freedoms to an unchecked executive branch for a undefined period of time. Our "War on Terror" may last for many years or decades, unlike other difficult, yet contained and defined wars such as World War II.
But this won't happen to me, you say. I'm an American citizen, not a terrorist. Well, don't be so sure. What would happen if someone "thought" you were a terrorist? Or a terrorist sympathizer? Of course you're not, but under this new law, how would you prove it? You get no lawyer. You may not even get to know what charges have been brought against you. And you get to sit in jail until they get around to dealing with you. If they choose to even do that.
Our government has proven over and over that they make mistakes. Big ones. All the time. No one is infallible. And this does not even take into account an unchecked executive that may have ulterior motives.
This is a huge mistake that can only be corrected by bravely voting in representatives that honor and respect our constitutional rights.
