It's a budget bill; it gets enacted every year to fund the military. It must be signed eventually (and in this case, on the very last day). Blame your entire government for putting things like the infinite detention of citizens inside of a budget bill.

I'm not sure why I got downvoted; there's nothing inaccurate about what I said. Don't blame the messenger.
Then why did he pressure congress into making the rules even hazier so he could detain Americans as well?
I do blame everyone who had fingerprints on it. Obama was not obliged to sign it. He did.
> It's a budget bill

That got to be the stupidest excuse to introduce new horrible laws.
