      Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act

      I’m so glad that somebody still remembers that. He also decided that summary executions of US citizens was just fine, demolishing another pillar of due process. “Voting blue” on its own does nothing to safeguard our rights.

      Yep! The universe doesn’t guarantee rights after they’re won! It’s not like points on a scoreboard. It’s more like territory on a map. Rights must be continually defended!
