1. Mike Lee Passes Amendment to Protect Civil Liberties in NDAA | Republican Liberty CaucusNovember 30, 2012 at 12:15 pmReply

   [...] Paul had also threatened to put a filibuster hold on the NDAA bill if an attempt was made to pass it with the provisions allowing unconstitutional detention of citizens without a trial included. Since the passage of an earlier version of the NDAA more than a year ago, grassroots groups like the Republican Liberty Caucus have been calling and emailing members of the House and Senate relentlessly expressing opposition to the detention provisions in the bill and it appears that for once our legislative leaders actually listened to the people.

     Rob Portman also voted for the NDAA. When I wrote to ask about his reasoning on that, I got back a request for re-election campaign funds. Neither I nor anyone in my family will ever vote for him again, much less give him money.

     Sherrod Brown, our other, very liberal senator voted fo maintain a few rights for the citizens. Down with Portman!
