if this passes it will be proof positive that the power deligated by the people to wage war has been perverted.
and they will have NO ligitamite power over you.
in this specific case, the milatary has the duty to imprison the people who wrote the law not the citizens.
but that leaves the military in control,
it sounds like your govenment is about to conduct war on its own people.
do not give the military a fight, give them a civics lesson.

From my understanding this bill is actually being renewed.
It has been passed before.
Fear mongering is abundant here..
It does not apply to US citizens on US soil.
section 1032, subsection (b)(1):
The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
subsection (b)(2):
The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to a lawful resident alien of the United States on the basis of conduct taking place within the United States, except to the extent permitted by the Constitution of the United States.
