OFF THE WIRE

NDAA 2015 with "indefinite detention in the US for Americans" passes the REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED HOUSE. And you really think this two-party false left/right paradigm is constitutional?
"On Wednesday, the House of Representatives passed the Fiscal Year 2015 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Of the 100 or so amendments that lawmakers attempted to add to the legislation, two — one approved and one rejected — went nearly unnoticed, despite their attempt to force the federal government to adhere to core constitutional principles.
First, there was the unsuccessful attempt by Representative Adam Smith
(D-Wash.) to “eliminate indefinite detention in the United States and
its territories.” The amendment benefited from bipartisan sponsorship
(it was cosponsored by Georgia Republican Paul Broun) but was ultimately
defeated by a vote of 191-230."
