Last week, a federal judge ruled that an temporary injunction on section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 must be made permanent, essentially barring the White House from ever enforcing a clause in the NDAA that can let them put any US citizen behind bars indefinitely over mere allegations of terrorist associations. On Monday, the US Justice Department asked for an emergency stay on that order, and hours later US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit Judge Raymond Lohier agreed to intervene and place a hold on the injunction.

Ummm... I hate to state this, but It's a temporary hold on the injunction. This does not necessarily mean that it will stand as permanent, and this hold could end at any time in the near future. It does not mean that it will not become a permanent injunction stating that it will be illegal for detaining any U.S. citizens permanently in the future for the mere idea that they could be a terrorist, as was decreed originally.edit on 19-9-2012 by Rubicant13 because: (no reason given)
