They're passing a law in Washington that the President will sign apparently, that allows indefinite detention of anyone, including American citizens, in America by the military, without charges. 

It violates the Constitution in so many ways. You have to figure the courts will stand against it, but then again you have to wonder. 

With the law on the books, it will be possible to arrest anyone for any reason without due process.  

Now the thing that really bothers me is this. What do they think is going to happen that will make it necessary for them to control the population of the US with the army? 

What are they thinking is going to happen? 

If this were a movie it would might be an alien invasion. 

Or it could be the plot of Seven Days in May.
