(11,936 posts)This proposed bill says the President isn't required to do it. Existing laws, laws that this bill does NOT repeal, are still what they are in terms of our rights. I don't believe existing law gives such an option. There is some question about some stuff in AUMF. But those questions exist with or without this bill.
Unless you can prove to me that this bill somehow overturns existing laws, then I don't see where you or ACLU really have an argument there.
Its not that I support the bill, something that causes this much confusion shouldn't become law until all confusion is cleared with better language. But from a purely objective reading of whats in this law tied out with existing law, I can see no proof that this bill does anything remotely close to what some are claiming.
