martial law

Description

At a town hall meeting in Sherman Oaks, Howard Berman (US Congressman from the 28th Congressional District of California) defends his vote for the 2012 NDAA, National Defense Authorization Act. He admits the bill has "troublesome language," and yet he voted for it in hopes of passing the Garamendi amendment that he says would clarify that citizens and lawful residents would not be indefinitely detained without charge or trial. In the meantime, he passed a martial law bill that Obama signed into law (on New Years Eve). To me, his response is skirting around the truth, saying the law is ambiguous in terms of constitutionality, then redacts saying the bill is not unconstitutional.... which is it????
