So if you are not going to vote for Nelson because he supported it (no support for Rubio is a given) what about Obama? It's his measure after all.
So in summary, Obama wanted the power to detain US citizens indefinitely regardless of where they are picked up, and you are cool with him having that power.
Also Obama did threaten a veto but not over the issue of detaining US citizens. That was his proposal after all.
This seems to be a problem. Can anyone explain to me why lilMike is lying and saying the president wants to detain US citizens
indefinitely?The conference committee working out the differences between the Senate and House versions of the bill added and amended several provisions in an attempt to produce legislation that would pass muster with President Barack Obama, who appealed personally for fixes.
