I did, thanks for posting. Problem is this is a real issue, so most don't care about it.

NDAA is something expected of neo-cons, so they have no problem with it of course. The pussy Democrats won't stop it because their guy is the one who sold out and signed it.
Win/win for both corrupt parties, lose/lose for Americans.

Seriously, waste of time and money? wth

The heart of the Feinstein amendment:

"An authorization to use military force, a declaration of war, or any similar authority shall not authorize the detention without charge or trial of a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States apprehended in the United States, UNLESS AN ACT OF CONGRESS EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZES SUCH DETENTION."

Well, that Act of Congress is the 2012 NDAA, which renders the rest of the Feinstein amendment meaningless.

Seriously, waste of time and money? wth

not true, congress would not be able to pass such an act.
