The President is expected to sign the bill, which will allow indefinite detentions without charge or trial, even for American citizens...

What this means is all some anonymous politician has to do is call you a "terrorist" and they can lock you up and torture you for life, no lawyer, no trial, no jury, no defense, no nothing. Or they can just kill you if they feel like it. What's a "terrorist"? Anything they want it to be. They can call you a "racist" or "white supremacist" terrorist if they want. Or an "antisemite" or "neo nazi". They can call you a "homophobe" terrorist. If you're antiwar they can call you an "Al Qaeda" sympathizer terrorist.
Hasta la vista, Bill of Rights and USA.
