Proposal to Give Judges Role in Drone Strikes


washingtonpost.com | A proposal to give federal ­judges a direct role in the nation’s drone campaign gained new momentum this week with a signal from senior lawmakers that they intend to consider creating a special court to oversee the selection of targets for lethal strikes.

NDAA on Trial- Did You Know About It? Chris Hedges takes on Obama

The sad fact is that most Americans don't even know what the NDAA stands for let alone the main stream media even covering a precedent setting lawsuit to have it declared unconstitutional. In case you didn't know what the NDAA is it is the National Defense Authorization Act. It gives the government the right to indefinitely detain anyone that it declares a danger to national security. Including reporters such as yours truly if the government says that reporting the news is not in the best interest of the government.  They can arbitrarily claim that a reporter or a citizen is an enemy combatant without having to prove it.

This not only violates our Constitutional right to a trial by a jury of your peers, it gives the government the power to make you disappear without being able to notifying anyone including your family or friends. Basically, it says that by reporting or talking about subjects that the government deems a danger to the secrecy of the governments plans that may or may not be legal under the Constitution, you do not get a chance to argue that in a court of law.
