    a compromise amendment to preserve current law, which I shall read:

    On page 360, between lines 21 and 22, insert the following:

       Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens or lawful resident aliens of the United States or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.

    her amendment was adopted 99-1. (via lawfare)

    so while ndaa is by no means a good piece of legislation, it doesn’t in any way change the reach of government in detaining american citizens, resident aliens, or anyone else arrested here. which is why it’s ironic to see this alarmist “infographic” paired with the thinkprogress link, which explicitly states it isn’t true.
