No, both the Administration and its supporters have made the outright claim that the provisions of this bill will not apply to US citizens. (Note that "this bill" does not grant all of the powers outlined above; those are a collection of powers granted by a range of laws enacted in the name of "fighting terrorism".)

"This bill" is the one allowing torture, detention indefinitely without trial, secret trials with heresay evidence, and witht he prosecution withholding evidence before a military court.

Given that the range of powers already granted to an out-of-control POTUS have *already* been applied to US citizens, what are the chances that these additional powers *won't* be applied to US citizens?

Given that the current administration started a foreign war on the basis of a huge range of lies, and continues to lie about both the purpose and conduct of that war, what are the chances that these additional powers *won't* be applied to US citizens?

And BTW, dont forget that the foundations for subverting the power of the peoples' vote have already been laid. There is some evidence to suggest that actual subversion/manipulation/outright voting fraud have already been committed, although I'm personally not convinced that there is enough evidence (yet) to state outright that it has been. But the methods and hence, the possibilities are in place.

If voting could change the system, it would be illegal. if not votintg could change the system, it would be illegal.

Of the many methods of changing the system that exist, which do you find are the illegal ones?

No, I'm not advocating the violent overthrow of the US government; I'm merely predicting one.
