Independent news channel Infowars.com recently profiled Carl Mayer, the New Jersey defense lawyer representing journalist Chris Hedges and six other plaintiffs in the anti-NDAA case Hedges vs. Obama.
The lawsuit is over the constitutionality of the indefinite detention clause in the National Defense Authorization Act, which would allow the U.S. to indefinitely jail a U.S. citizen suspected of terrorist activity without due process.
Hedges writes for Truthdig, an alternative news site. He stated that if the plaintiffs lose this case, the government will seize unchecked power, creating “a secret, lawless world of indiscriminate violence, terror and gulags.” He writes that if the indefinite detention provision holds, the country’s inevitable decline “will be one of repression, blood and suffering.”
Only recently we have seen public dissent on the controversial clause in the NDAA go mainstream. A handful of states have begun moving anti-NDAA legislation forward.
Mayer has long fought for the protection of civil liberties, as well as argued against public corporations’ who cite the protections granted in the Bill of Rights.
