One New York Judge Is Holding Her Ground Against The Biggest Names In Government

On May 16 U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest upheld her decision to block the controversial indefinite detention provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2012, and the Obama Administration made a request for a more detailed explanation.


The defendants — Barack Obama, Leon Panetta, John McCain, John Boehner, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell and Eric Cantor — argued that the order only stopped the government from indefinitely detaining the journalists and activists who brought the lawsuit.

But Judge Forrest has now clarified the injunction in a 8-page memorandum released Wednesday so as to "leave no doubt" that U.S. citizens cannot be indefinitely detained without due process.

Way to go Hon. Katherine Forrest.

What's disturbing about this is that Mr. Harvard Law Review needed to be slapped in the face with the Bill of Rights.

He might pay attention when they shove it up his as$, which the SCOTUS is about to do with his affordable healthcare act. Might.
