Union leaders know that their strength is in unity. If only voters showed that same conviction to unity with regard to the 4th and 5th amendments to the Constitution and the NDAA 2012 pathway for denying citizens the rights supposedly protected by those amendments. . .
Union leaders know, because it is freaking OBVIOUS, but, I digress...Union leaders know that every condition they define for denying members specific benefits, comes with a requirement for monitoring and detection of said conditions.
If a union begins to define various conditions under which specific benefits can be revoked it spreads like a crack in a windshield. The sanctity of the 'union' is threatened, its integrity questioned by the membership. Membership feels oppressed by the very institution they dreamed would shield them from oppression.
The union cannot stand under such pressures. Union leaders know this, thus the unbelievable outcomes like the one in this story become just a price for maintaining the power of the union without question. We don't have to like it, they're the union.
On a national level, the NDAA 2012 and other bills, acts and executive orders that go mostly unnoticed by the public every day are defining the chain of circumstances by which some bureaucrat, the Executive, for now, but certainly those decisions will be delegated downward as the frequency of their arising increases, ...by which some bureaucrat can decide if an American citizen qualifies for protections described in the 4th and 5th amendments.
One such route is Federal wealth distribution programs, entitlements, grants, bribes and kickbacks. They get folks addicted to these flows of funding and then begin to place conditions on receipt that require ever-more invasive forms of monitoring and detection strategies. Up to and including blood and DNA tests as a pre-requisite to receiving Federal checks.
The NDAA 2012 bill establishes another route. The Bill's states explicitly that its provisions do not apply to 'citizens'. But, there is precedent for an individual to be accuseed of treason...thereby nullifying citizenship and making that same said former citizen now elegible for indefinite detention by their former government.
That simple, two-step misdirection is enough to fool a lot of folks into standing on the snapshot that says NDAA provisions do not apply to citizens. Once they hear that, they are deaf to the fact that it takes one decision to decide a person is no long a citizen and no longer exempt from those provisions.
