NY Federal Judge Strikes Down 'Indefinite Detention' Provision in NDAAPosted on September 13, 2012 at 12:30am by Jason Howerton "In short, the Court can find no authority in domestic law or the law of war, nor can the government point to any, to justify the concept of 'support' as a valid ground for detention," Forrest wrote. The judge said the government struggled to explain what the statute means and what and whose activities it was written to cover. "That is no small question bandied about amongst lawyers and a judge steeped in arcane questions of constitutional law; it is a question of defining an individual's core liberties," she said. www.theblaze.com/stories/federal-judge-strikes-down-indefinite-detention-provision-in-ndaa/

Won't the government appeal this all the way to the SCOTUS?
Besides, just because a judge says to NOT do it doesn't mean the administration will comply.
Remember when a court ruled that the moratorium on drilling in the Gulf was unconstitutional?
Did that stop the moratorium?

Stalin was condemned by the Pope. Stalin asked "How many Divisions does the Pope have?"
This was condemned by the courts and you can almost hear Odumba ask Holder How many divisions does the Courts have?
