Thank you for posting this pair of videos, limpyhobbler.

I'm happy to support President Obama, when I can. Too often, sadly, I cannot do so.


BTW: I loved the comment about "Potemkin statistics." I wonder how many DUers got that allusion?

According to Afran and fellow attorney Carl Mayer, the judges will likely not rule on the injunction for some months as they wait on the result of a current Supreme Court case (also involving Hedges) challenging the government’s use of electronic surveillance. A decision over the NDAA provision injunction may not come until June.

After the morning's arguments, the panel of three judges adjourned the court, hinting they may not issue a ruling until after the Supreme Court hears a related case involving warrantless wiretapping - Clapper vs. Amnesty International - in which Hedges is also a plaintiff.
