United States 12/02/2011 03:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Rand Paul Statement on Defeat of Detainee Amendment!! [ link to paul.senate.gov] He's a chip off of the block! Way to go Rand Paul and thank you for saving a shred of American liberty. Dec 1, 2011
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Tonight, Sen. Rand Paul prevented the passage of an amendment that would have further eroded Americans' constitutional rights. Offered to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 2012 (S.1867), amendment No. 1274 would have allowed the U.S. government to detain an American citizen indefinitely, even after they had been tried and found not guilty, until Congress declares an end to the war on terror. |

The majority of Congress and the bankers have conspired to commit fraud and theft for decades and NOW they are ordering the military and police to cover it up and protect them?  |

Once they realized they would have to admit that they were willing to hold Americans even after being found guilty, they stopped business as usual and voted it down. Thanks Rand Paul for standing up for us! |
