    The National Defense Authorization Act signed by President Obama on December 31 has run into a problem: a judge in Manhattan has ruled a section of the act unlawful. Section 1021 was deemed unconstitutional due to the ambiguity of who could be considered a terrorist. Late Thursday, an amendment to the NDAA was presented on the House floor and Representative Adam Smith lead the fight to bar indefinite detention for terror suspects on US soil. Alex O' Brien, journalist with WL Central, joins us for more on the NDAA.

    Opponents of the the National Defense Authorization Act are celebrating after a judge ruled that the act is unconstitutional. District Judge Katherine Forrest favored a group of activists and journalists who claimed section 1021 could have Americans indefinitely detained without due process only on suspicion of having terrorist ties. For now, the NDAA is blocked and the US government has the option to appeal the ruling. David Seaman, journalist and host of The DL Show, joins us with his take on the ruling.
