Obama’s Preventative Detention Law – “Prolonged Detention” – Era of Pre-Crime

What was very surprising was to hear President Obama talk about what he called “prolonged detention”, but what I think we can all safely say is preventative detention moving forward. The idea of detaining people not because they’ve committed a crime, but because of their general dangerousness or that they may commit a crime in the future. That’s something that the documents that President Obama was standing in front of, particularly the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, simply doesn’t permit.
