Supreme Court Denies NDAA Lawsuitselfnews Post Monday, the Supreme Court put the final nail in this suit by denying to hear the case, without comment. The lawsuit at issue, Hedges v. Obama, was brought in early 2012 by a group of journalists, scholars and activists. Containing such noted figures as Noam Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg, journalist Chris Hedges, and others, this Freedom 7 challenged Section 1021 of the 2012 NDAA as unconstitutionally overbroad. This section determines who is covered by the 2012 NDAA, and contains such vague terms as substantial support direct support, and belligerent act and, if one falls under one of these terms, they could be subject to indefinite military detention without charge or trial. In a statement on the outcome of this denial, lead plaintiff Tangerine Bolen wrote: If the outcome of this lawsuit does not cement the fact that the courts will not defend the Constitution, nor our rights with it, there is little more evidence to be presented. The Federal tier has failed us. The states, localities, and eventually the people, are where we will stand. As we resist, the work of the plaintiffs will not be forgotten.
