One article says it is a gutting of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Another says it doesn't affect US citizens, like this:

I am very concerned about an open letter to the President I read from one of the Occupy camps. It stated if he does not veto this legislation, they will work against him. Can we 99%-ers afford to work against just about the only person standing between us and ruin?

 

Thanks for consideration,

Deb
