[lbo-talk] Federal Judge enjoins NDAA

[Wojtek S]

RE: "As for the DOJ's first argument -- lack of standing -- the court
found that the plaintiffs are already suffering substantial injury
from the reasonable fear that they could be indefinitely detained
under section 1021 of the NDAA as a result of their constitutionally
protected activities."

[WS:] I am not a lawyer, but I sincerely doubt this argument will
stand in the high court.  In fact, the opponents of the Obamacare are
trying something similar arguing that they brought a lawsuit out of
'fear" of future penalties for not having insurance.

I think a more likely scenario is that it is Obama administration's
way of trying to derail, by a proxy, a piece of legislation which they
could openly oppose for political reasons.
