This is how you keep the status quo and make the people feel satisfied about .... throw an absurd rule in there, make people fight to throw it out, and then everyone feels like they have won.
It's Obama's way of supporting the Patriot Act without looking like he is supporting Bush's legislation, turning all the discussion about the bill to the ridiculous portion they knew would be thrown out and not on the rest of it.
Happens all the time
yeah my thoughts are that the media hyped this shit for no reason other than to divert attention from SOPA being passed (it didn't.) all this NDAA hype started happening when SOPA was being debated over in congress.
either way its all bullshit. this is about as relevant to me as who the leading republican candidate is in the iowa caucuses.
