This. That's all I can say.
As I understand Feinstein's amendment to the NDAA which was adopted inserts language into the NDAA that states it takes no stance on detention of citizens in the US. The NDAA now merely affirms current US law which is unclear.

I read it. But I admit I didn't read Feinstein's amendment or any recent edits. It was a good 2-3 weeks ago. I also noticed your post on FB regarding this. Not sure if we read the same versions.
