Federal Judge Rules Indefinite Detention UNCONSTITUTIONAL



From Alexis Duran:

More than 50,000 Demand Progress members signed up as grassroots supporters of a lawsuit against indefinite detention that was spearheaded by journalist Chris Hedges and the activist group Revolution Truth.  Well, less than 24 hours before tomorrow's vote on the NDAA, a federal judge has ruled in our favor, issuing an injunction that asserts that indefinite detention is unconstitutional.

If you're on Reddit, will you vote up this link to make sure the whole world knows about tomorrow's vote on indefinite detention?
Thanks! Let's keep fighting and win this thing once and for all.
