Behind the scenes: Obama and the NDAA A legal challenge goes unreportedIt appears that the fight against tyranny and oppression creates some interesting alliances on both sides. On January 13, 2012 a group of plaintiffs that include socialist and anarchist Noam Chomsky, political activist Daniel Ellsberg, the U.S. Day of Rage, and others filed a suit in the United States District Court, in and for the Southern District of New York, challenging the Constitutionality of the controversial sections of the NDAA. They asked the court for "preliminary and permanent injunctive relief with respect to one section, (indeed one page) of that voluminous legislation: Section 1021" (of the NDAA). The case was heard by Manhattan federal court Judge Katherine Forrest. The defendants of this case were names as Barack Obama (individually and as a representative of the United States), Leon Panetta, John McCain, John Boehner, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell and Eric Cantor. www.homelandsecurityus.com/archives/6542#more-6542
