Eroding Excited States Civil Liberties . . . .

Chris Hedges in his TruthDig column today details his case against the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and its chances of success.  barry's kangaroo court has the upper hand  at this point in the legal proceedings.

All we have left is the Supreme Court, which may not take the case. If the Supreme Court does not take our case, the law will remain in place unless Congress strikes it down, something that federal legislators have so far refused to consider. The three branches of government may want to retain the ability to use the military to maintain control if widespread civil unrest should occur in the United States. I suspect the corporate state knows that amid the mounting effects of climate change and economic decline the military may be all that is left between the elite and an enraged population. And I suspect the corporate masters do not trust the police to protect them. 

My bet is The Supremes don't touch this case with the proverbial 10-foot pole and the march toward total annihilation of civil liberties in The Excited States continues.

Sure would like to be wrong on this one, tho . . . .
