Why Al Franken refused to sign the 2012 Defense Authorization Act

With this defense authorization act, Congress will, for the first time in 60 years, authorize the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens without charge or trial, according to its advocates. This would be the first time that Congress has deviated from President Nixon's Non-Detention Act. And what we are talking about here is that Americans could be subjected to life imprisonment without ever being charged, tried, or convicted of a crime, without ever having an opportunity to prove their innocence to a judge or a jury of their peers. And without the government ever having to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

I think that denigrates the very foundations of this country. It denigrates the Bill of Rights. It denigrates what our Founders intended when they created a civilian, non-military justice system for trying and punishing people for crimes committed on U.S. soil. Our Founders were fearful of the military--and they purposely created a system of checks and balances to ensure we did not become a country under military rule. This bill undermines that core principle, which is why I could not support it.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights, and this wasn't the way to mark its birthday.

Bloomberg Reports $7.7-Trillion in no-interest 'Emergeny' Loans

John Stewart, of the Daily Show on Comedy Central, crushes a kitten when he learns the truth. In 2008, the Federal Reserve offered failed banks $7.7-Trillion in no-interest (0.01%) loans. The banks took the money (including many over-seas banking organizations) and then loaned it back to the U.S. Federal Government at interest (3-7%), and paid their CEO's bonuses out of the money they make on the spread. Cool work if you can get it.
