I read somewhere that Obama himself insisted that the detention provision be included in the bill. I'd like to see some confirmation of that fact. If it is true, then we have one more instance of Obama driving the tyranny machine. We already have the Patriot Act. Why do we need further tools for the feds to go after U. S. citizens inside the U. S. borders? Well . . . the Patriot Act requires law enforcement to at least run it by a magistrate (even after the arrest or detention), whereas the new bill has no such magistrate requirement. This law takes us back to the days of King John in England, where you could be held in jail without trial, without even knowing what the accusation was. That's what spawned the Magna Carta, for Pete's sake. This federal government has just wiped out centuries of hard won freedom. Hold on to your guns and your ammo. Just sayin.'
