Section 1031 of the NDAA bill, which itself defines the entirety of the United States as a "battlefield," allows American citizens to be snatched from the streets, carted off to a foreign detention camp and held indefinitely without trial. The bill states that "any person who has committed a belligerent act" faces indefinite detention, but no trial or evidence has to be presented, the White House merely needs to make the accusation.
"This is a giant step -- this should be the biggest news going right now -- literally legalizing martial law," said Paul, noting that the subject did not come up at all in any of the Republican debates.
