If you read the bill and<strong>understand what it says</strong>, it clearly offers absolutely no protections of U.S. citizens. In fact, it affirms that Americans are subjected to indefinite detainment under "existing authorities."<br /><br />Let's parse it intelligently, shall we?<br /><br />First off, the offending section of the bill that used to be called 1031 was moved to 1021. Here is the title:<br /><br />(<a href="http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-112hr1540enr/pdf/BILLS-112hr1540enr.pdf" target="_blank" style="color: #3366cc; text-decoration: none;">http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-...</a>)<br /><br /><strong>SEC. 1021. AFFIRMATION OF AUTHORITY OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES TO DETAIN COVERED PERSONS PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE.</strong><br /><br />The two relevant sections to consider are titled and stated as follows;<br /><br /><strong>(d) CONSTRUCTION. -- Nothing in this section is intended to limit or expand the authority of the President or the scope of the Authorization for Use of Military Force.</strong><br /><br />By PARSING the language here, we must split it into two sentences based on the "or" operator. This statement essentially means:<br /><br />• Nothing in this section is intended to LIMIT the authority of the President or the scope of the Authorization for Use of Military Force.<br /><br />• Nothing in this section is intended to EXPAND the authority of the President or the scope of the Authorization for Use of Military Force.<br /><br />In other words, this section places no limits whatsoever of the "authority of the President" to use military force (against American citizens).
