Enemies of Peace and Prosperity

In an historic but remarkably unnoticed and under reported piece of legislation, the United States Senate voted 93-7 to pass the National Defense Authorization Act. As an American, I can only lament that it has now come to this.
This legislation is perhaps the single most anti-Constitutional law to ever be brought up in the halls of the U.S. Congress. Essentially, the law suspends the right of an American to:

• A fair trial.
• To be secure from illegal search and seizure.
• To know one's accuser and charges.
• To have an attorney, and to be able to defend against such charges.
• Free speech.
  

Congress is essentially using the fear of terror as an excuse to ride roughshod over American liberties. President Obama has already said he will veto this legislation, and it has yet to pass the House, but if the bill passed with 93 votes, a veto can almost certainly be overridden.
Imagine that you are a fairly vocal American. Imagine that this vocal tendency gets you labeled as a "terrorist" by a few people. That would be enough to allow the United States military to come sweep you up, whisk you away to Guantanamo, and torture you until you confess to your terrorist activities, and give up anyone who may be "conspiring" with you.
This act would abrogate:

• The First Amendment, which guarantees free speech, the right to assembly, and freedom to information.
• The Fourth Amendment, which guarantees freedom from illegal search and seizure.
• Posse Comitatus, which bars the use of federal troops from policing and enforcing the laws of the land.

I, as an American, will fight this legislation to the best of my abilities, and my last breath. ALL Americans should be appalled at what a few well-heeled, well connected power-mongers are trying to do. This act will not make us safer.
Republican Lindsey Graham, of course, doesn't see it that way. What the measure does, Graham said, is “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield. It is not unfair to make an American citizen account for the fact that they decided to help Al Qaeda to kill us all and hold them as long as it takes to find intelligence about what may be coming next,” Graham said. “And when they say, ‘I want my lawyer,’ you tell them, ‘Shut up. You don’t get a lawyer.’”
Americans unable to get a lawyer? If you want to make a citizen of the United States account for an act they have done, bring them to trial. Get a judge to sign off on a warrant. Most of all, follow due process. During the Clinton administration, the World Trace Center was attacked. ALL of the perpetrators were captured, tried, and convicted, without any recourse to such extra-Constitutional powers. They were unnecessary then. They are unnecessary now.
America was attacked from without on September 11, 2001. Let us not use that as an excuse to allow ourselves to be attacked from within. Please, help fight against this legislation. It is the duty of every American citizen.
