the national defense authorization act greatly expands the power and scope of the federal government to fight the war on terror, including codifying into law the indefinite detention of terrorism suspects without trial. Under the new law the us military has the power to carry out domestic anti-terrorism operations on us soil.
“the fact that i support this bill as a whole does not mean i agree with everything in it,” the president said in a statement. “i have signed this bill despite having serious reservations with certain provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation and prosecution of suspected terrorists.”

worse, the ndaa authorizes the military to detain even us citizens under the broad new anti-terrorism provisions provided in the bill, once again without trial.
There is some controversy on this point, in part because the law as written is entirely too vague. but whether or not the law will be used to indefinitely detain us citizens domestically, it is written to allow the detention of us citizens abroad as well as foreigners without trial.

I'm just jaggin you a little, man. lol This is all actually good for me, though, since I plan on taking over the government and becoming the greatest dictator in history. With that being said, how would like a position in the hierarchy?

Thanks for the offer, but by the time its all said and done, I probably won't be living in the US anymore.
Vermont was a its own thing before it was a US state, and we'll go back to that eventually.

Yeah I know it was. I'm actually somewhat well versed on US history but not as well as I used to be. But just think about my offer man: excellent pay, a pension, giant house, legions of slaves at your disposal, mid-day naps at work....
