Senate votes to bar indefinite detention of US citizens suspected of terrorism | Fox News

Senate votes to bar indefinite detention of US citizens suspected of terrorism | Fox News: "A coalition of liberal Democrats and libertarian Republicans backed an amendment to a sweeping defense bill that said the government cannot detain a U.S. citizen or legal resident indefinitely without charge or trial even with the authorization to use military force or a declaration of war."

29 people voted against that?!?

"Current law denies suspected terrorists, including U.S. citizens seized within the nation's borders, the right to trial and subjects them to the possibility they would be held indefinitely."
