Darnell (Concise Opinions)

Came across this via Brian Dunbar’s blog. The fact that there isn’t massive outrage about this makes me wonder if America’s future will resemble Brave New World after all.

Even here, the focus is on the inconvenience associated with constitutional challenges to a policy of imprisoning people without charge or trial, as opposed to the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment violations themselves. But in contrast with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and likeminded advocates of military detention, the Obama administration at least concedes that the powers affirmed by the NDAA raise “major statutory and constitutional questions.” Like Congress, which has shamefully evaded its legislative responsibilities by deliberately maintaining ambiguity about the president’s detention authority, Obama is content to let the courts sort things out, especially since he is certain that he will never abuse whatever power he has. (Reason.com)
