The Last Chance to Stop the NDAA

By Chris Hedges, TruthDig | Report

I and my fellow plaintiffs have begun the third and final round of our battle to get the courts to strike down a section of theNational Defense Authorization Act(NDAA) that permits the military to seize U.S. citizens, strip them of due process and hold them indefinitely in military facilities. Carl Mayer and Bruce Afran, the lawyers who with me in January 2012 brought a lawsuit against President Barack Obama (Hedges v. Obama), are about to file papers asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear our appeal of a 2013 ruling on the act’s Section 1021.
