[lbo-talk] Federal Judge enjoins NDAA

[Chuck Grimes]

Here's Glen Greenwald piece on the ruling:

``The ruling was a sweeping victory for the plaintiffs, as it rejected each 
of the Obama DOJ's three arguments: (1) because none of the plaintiffs has 
yet been indefinitely detained, they lack "standing" to challenge the 
statute; (2) even if they have standing, the lack of imminent enforcement 
against them renders injunctive relief unnecessary; and (3) the NDAA creates 
no new detention powers beyond what the 2001 AUMF already provides.''

Also Paul Krugman on Democracy Now was pretty good this morning.
