NDAA lawsuit update: press conference held after appeals court hearingMadison Ruppert, Contributor For those who are not aware of the issue at stake, it is one of the most essential rights: the right to due process which is completely removed by the indefinite detention provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (NDAA). Unfortunately, the 2013 version of the NDAA just made the indefinite detention situation worse. Previously, a federal judge found the indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA to be unconstitutional. While this was a major victory for Americans, the decision was essentially overturned by a higher court pending appeal. Now the plaintiffs in the Hedges v. Obama case are arguing their case in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, where the first hearing was held on Wednesday. A brief statement was posted here and a call to action from Chris Hedges can be seen here. Check out the highlights from the press conference below. Did I forget anything or miss any errors?
