Military can't detain Americans indefinitely; NDAA shot down by federal judge

[The Northerner]

Opponents of the the National Defense Authorization Act are celebrating after a judge ruled that the act is unconstitutional. District Judge Katherine Forrest favored a group of activists and journalists who claimed section 1021 could have Americans indefinitely detained without due process only on suspicion of having terrorist ties. For now, the NDAA is blocked and the US government has the option to appeal the ruling. David Seaman, journalist and host of The DL Show, joins us with his take on the ruling.
