NDAA - Allows authorities to declare American citizens enemies of the state. I will try and keep this posting going. I am about to retire from law enforcement after 20 years. I don't like the direction this is all going.
NDAA 2012: Ron Paul Warns Bill Would Legalize Martial Law

This is a giant step -- this should be the biggest news going on right now -- literally legalizing martial law," Paul said on the Alex Jones radio show. He added that despite the topic's importance, the subject has never been discussed at any of the Republican presidential debates.
Paul is refferring to section 1031 of the NDAA bill, which describes the U.S. as a "battlefield" and would give the military a green light to arrest and detain American citizens without any charges or trial. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) sums it up:
"These provisions raise serious questions as to who we are as a society and what our Constitution seeks to protect," Sen. Udall said. "Section 1031 essentially repeals the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 by authorizing the U.S. military to perform law enforcement functions on American soil. That alone should alarm my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, but there are other problems with these provisions that must be resolved."
