With the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) sections 1021, 1022, our Federal government now asserts that they can (unconstitutionally and illegally) arrest an American Citizen without a warrant and incarcerate them without a trial.  In a speech railing against this horrible law, Senator Rand Paul explained, “something as simple as homeschooling your children, or having more than 7 days worth of food on hand could indicate that you are a “terrorist” in the Government’s eyes.”
