Obama's Last Act of 2011 - NDAA

From Hawaii, President Obama signed the NDAA of 2012 into Law

It is being reported that Obama has issues with some of the clauses and wording, but the motives for the issues are up for interpretation. You can read his statement on the White House website.

One official explained that President Obama does believe, however, that American citizens can be temporarily detained, and that the military has the right to capture and hold any citizen who is engaged in conflict against the United States. If various provisions in the law prove unworkable, the president could go back to Congress to ask for changes.

“The president is going to adhere to the policies that he has held over the last three years, making sure that none of these congressional provisions impede the ability of the counterterrorism and military professional from keeping the country safe,” the official said.

RI Tea Party says it can march again in July 4 parade

The Independence day Parade organizing committee has lifted the "ban for life" imposed on the Rhode Island Tea Party.The decision was made after it could not be proven that the Tea Party had actually passed out copies of the U.S. Constitution.

Although it was reported that other groups had been passing out fliers or some other forms of literature, the Tea Party was singled out for banning. Could it have been they were providing subversive information to the public? Of course, with the latest communication from the ATF to the Federal Firearm Licensees in Tennessee, it could be construed that the U.S. Constitution is really not pertinent any longer, in the eyes of our government.
