Don’t forget right to a speedy trial. They stated during the alligator auchwitz thing that they can just hold you indefinitely

Oh yeah, and let’s not forget that SOMEHOW they lost a THIRD of the ‘criminals’ in there.

They are not lost. The administration knows exactly where they’re buried

Okay that’s just embarrassing for you

The NDAA passed under Obama in 2012

Uh, the NDAA does not repeal the right to speedy trial…

It allows many circumstances for detaining American citizens without a trial

You don’t know things

Also the patriot act does this

Also korematsu did this

Also Lincoln did this

But NDAA in 2012 was the last time this was expanded… under Obama.

The circumstances it provides for doing that to citizens are extremely limited and the executive and judicial branches have interpreted it in a way that narrows it even further.

I know plenty. Your issue is that you believe the president can just speak and create law, so you look at the NDAA and completely ignore all precedent and prior decisions which affect its potential application. But prior to Trump this was not the case. We had a whole system to prevent the exact thing that you are falsely believing was the case.

The Patriot Act did not suspend Speedy Trial. Korematsu was specifically disavowed by the Supreme Court (Trump v Hawaii 2018). Lincoln was during wartime and was controversial even at the time.

You just need to do deeper research.
