The beginning of the revolution? In the middle of the country? Will it spread out from there? Will false flag attacks, pre-meditated events, or other events lead to further revolts? Marching with the flag upside down? A war against America? Civil War? What would a dollar collapse do? Many questions...
With the National Guard in Ferguson, Obama said that in a conversation with the governor, he "expressed an interest in making sure that ... the National Guard is used in a limited and appropriate way.''
As promised in his 12/31/11 statement regarding NDAA:
Section 1021 affirms the executive branch's authority to detain persons
covered by the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF)
(Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note). This section breaks no new
ground and is unnecessary. The authority it describes was included in
the 2001 AUMF, as recognized by the Supreme Court and confirmed through
lower court decisions since then. Two critical limitations in section
1021 confirm that it solely codifies established authorities. First,
under section 1021(d), the bill does not "limit or expand the authority
of the President or the scope of the Authorization for Use of Military
Force." Second, under section 1021(e), the bill may not be construed to
affect any "existing law or authorities relating to the detention of
United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or
any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States." My
Administration strongly supported the inclusion of these limitations in
order to make clear beyond doubt that the legislation does nothing more
than confirm authorities that the Federal courts have recognized as
lawful under the 2001 AUMF. Moreover, I want to clarify that my
Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention
without trial of American citizens. Indeed, I believe that doing so
would break with our most important traditions and values as a Nation.
My Administration will interpret section 1021 in a manner that ensures
that any detention it authorizes complies with the Constitution, the
laws of war, and all other applicable law.
