An unimaginable violation of due process: The Senate just voted to allow the military to detain American citizens indefinitely -- without even charging them with a crime -- if they are said to be suspected of terrorism.
Thankfully, President Obama has threatened to veto the bill, noting that:
Applying this military custody requirement to individuals inside the United States, as some Members of Congress have suggested is their intention, would raise serious and unsettled legal questions and would be inconsistent with the fundamental American principle that our military does not patrol our streets.
Allowing indefinite military detention of American citizens -- without even being charged -- is an unfathomable violation of due process.
Please, stand by your promise to veto this bill.
