When a bill passes through Senate with a 93-7 vote, you wouldn't expect there to be a provision essentially eliminating due process. But that's what happened when the 2012 defense appropriations bill was passed this month, much to Jon Stewart's chagrin.

In a two-part segment on Wednesday night's "Daily Show," Stewart slammed the bill, which details expenses for our armed forces, for including a provision that would allow for anyone -- including Americans -- suspected of terrorism to be locked up indefinitely without a trial. You know, because the fourth amendment is more like a "suggestion."
