That's true, the PA doesn't. These two troublesome powers were attached to the larger defense appropriations bill as an amendment (rider), in secret, while we were all stuffing our pieholes with burnt bird and free-range raccoon.
It's this "rider" bullshit that really chaps my ass. Not one iota of public input/debate/discussion, yet these riders become law in the dead of night. Same way we got Fee (Not) Demo (Anymore) back in 1996, when a Congressman from Ohio (Ralph Regula), without a fuq'n square inch of federal lands in his district, attached the F(N)D(A) rider to the larger omnibus government appropriations bill. BAM! Overnight, we're paying to recreate on lands that we, the public, already own. Ludicrous in how that occurred. And now it's happeneing again, but this time to your freedom as an Amerikan...
Is it too far of a stretch to think that this rider to the NDAA2012 legislation, if not vetoed/repealed/amended, will be used to police up and detain both Tea Party-ers and OWS protesters alike...?? Or anyone who becomes "troublesome" to the government...??
