This act enshrines the practice of indefinitely detaining people who are suspected by a Presidential Administration of terrorist connections without trial. It overwhelmingly passed the Senate. Here are the few senators who still believe that the Constitution prevents you from being locked up indefinitely on a mere suspicion.

  • Sen. Thomas Coburn (R, OK)
  • Sen. Thomas Harkin (D, IA)
  • Sen. Mike Lee (R, UT)
  • Sen. Jeff Merkley (D, OR)
  • Sen. Rand Paul (R, KY)
  • Sen. Bernard Sanders (I, VT)
  • Sen. Ron Wyden (D, OR)

(If we can persuade Obama to veto this act, Congress will probably reconsider the problematic provisions and this number will grow.)
