 Obama Tricks Inept Congress into Revoking American Rights Protected By 
Habeas Corpus
 by Dr. Alan Bates, MD

 This past week DHS (Dept of Homeland Security) officers armed with 
automatic weapons and K-9 dogs showed up unannounced at the Social Security 
Office in Leesburg, Florida and demanded identification papers from citizens 
waiting in line.  The head of that Social Security office told news media he 
had no prior warning nor had any information on the reason for intrusion by 
DHS.  When asked,  DHS officers indicated it was a “preparedness exercise”. 
My next question is “for what?”   This event closely follows  the ignorance 
of our Congress in passing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 
despite warnings by Senators Rand Paul, Mike Lee and a few others that its 
wording as crafted by the Obama Administration  (and with which military 
leaders stated they are uncomfortable) allows the Secretary of Defense 
(Panetta) in consultation with Secretary of State (Clinton) and the Director 
of National Intelligence (Clapper) to waive a U.S. citizen’s constitutional 
right to protection by habeas corpus and posse comitatus—that is be held 
indefinitely without cause by the military without access to legal 
counsel---should the Administration consider them as a “threat to national 
security”.  So what is a ‘threat to national security’ as defined by the 
Obama Administration or any totalitarian regime?  Could it include speech or 
protest against a tyrannical government?

 The wording of the NDAA does not guarantee that U.S.citizens are exempt 
from being detained and deprived of their constitutional rights at the whim 
of a totalitarian government which does not like what citizens have to say 
or do within the confines of the Constitution.   Moreover, the summary of 
this Act presented to many moribund members of Congress falsely states that 
the Act exempts U.S. citizens  when that is not the case!   What the Act 
does state is that the government is not required to detain a U.S. citizen 
in military custody, but that wording does not exclude an option for the 
Administration to force a waiver of a citizen’s constitutional right to 
habeas corpus.

 Should you want further information on this huge mistake by our Congress,

Americans United for Freedom, please check out this link:

 The President this past week violated the rule of law and appointed a head 
to the ‘Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’ and loaded three vacant seats 
on the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) with labor union empathizers, 
calling them ‘recess appointments’ when Congress is not officially in 
recess.  This was simply another step by Obama to usurp the authority of 
Congress and destroy the balance of powers guaranteed by the U.S. 
Constitution for his own selfish motives—specifically to strengthen the 
power of labor unions, to further encroach on the right of companies to hire 
nonunion employees, and to lock in more union votes for Obama in 2012.

 Just how long will many Americans sit by and remain uneducated, apathetic 
or just plain dumb when it comes to the dictatorial Obama Administration 
trampling our Bill of Rights,  the Constitution and the rule of law?   Will 
it take relatives being hauled off to prison without charges or the right to 
an attorney,  or even charges against citizens for speaking out against 
tyranny?   Wake up and send this message out to everyone you know. Don’t 
count on the Left-wing media who  purposely ignore the treasonous crimes of 
this Administration and concentrate on superfluous diversions from 
underlying reality. The ONLY exception is FOX Business Channel which many of 
you do not receive if you have basic cable service.  Either check with your 
local cable provider or check out the web for Freedom Watch hosted by Judge 
Andrew Napolitiano if you don’t get Fox Business on your TV and keep up with 
what is really going on as it affects all of us.
