In 2012, after the Obama Administration signed the National Defense Authorization Act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year _2012), or NDAA, Hedges sued members of the U.S. government claiming that section 1021 of the law unconstitutionally allowed presidential authority for indefinite detention without habeas corpus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_corpus). He was later joined in the suit, Hedges v. Obama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedges_v._Obama), by activists including Noam Chomsky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky) and Daniel Ellsberg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Ellsberg). In May 2012, Judge Katherine B. Forrest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine_B._Forrest) of the Southern District of New York ruled that the counter-terrorism provision of the NDAA is unconstitutional.[31] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Hedges#cite_note-31) The Obama administration has appealed the decision.

Oh one more thing.

No one cares, nothing will change. Its not even a matter of any of it being correct or incorrect or factual or whatever; very few people won't believe anything that doesn't make them feel good.

Funny thing is, Hedges effectively says just that when he suggested that people are confusing "how something makes them feel" with actual knowledge.
