If you thought police brutality was bad... wait until you see what Congress wants to do next week.
Congress to Vote Next Week on EXPLICITLY Creating a Police State
The police brutality against peaceful protesters in Berkeley, Davis, Oakland and elsewhere is bad enough.
But next week, Congress will vote on explicitly creating a police state.
The ACLU’s Washington legislative office explains:
The Senate is gearing up for a vote on Monday or Tuesday that goes to the very heart of who we are as Americans. The Senate will be voting on a bill that will direct American military resources not at an enemy shooting at our military in a war zone, but at American citizens and other civilians far from any battlefield — even people in the United States itself.
***
The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world.
***
I’m sure the Founding Fathers would approve.
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
