The NDAA: An Unconstitutional Act - Opinion - The Mac Weekly - Macalester College

The NDAA scares me so much.  I dare to believe that it won't last, for it is quite evidently unconstitutional.  Proponents of NDAA keep it alive via lies and excuses I believe.  I'm sorry to be so harsh, however, there is no truth behind an argument that supports both the NDAA and the Constitution since the two contradict each other so extremely.

The Bill of Rights very clearly states that everyone should have a right to a trial if arrested.  Historically, people have been executed for crimes that they didn't commit, however, the chances of this happening today is very low thanks to the Constitution.  The Constitution build room for the law to make mistakes; the NDAA has no such capacity.  Once convicted under the NDAA you are guilty and there is no proving your innocence because there is no trial.
