Senate Passes National Defense Authorization Act; PA Sens. Have No Response on Indefinite Incarceration Provision | PhillyNow | A blog about Philadelphia news, politics and culture by Philadelphia Weekly


We’ve been contacting both Pennsylvania Sens. Bob Casey and Pat Toomey all week to get the rationale behind their Tuesday votes in favor of Section 1031 of the National Defense Authorization Act.

Neither Democratic Senator Bob Casey, nor Republican Senator Pat Toomey have responded to PW’s calls for comment on this issue. Neither have commented to other news sources or on their websites, either.

Casey’s office sent out a press release praising the passage of the bill, though did not mention his votes in favor of Section 1031. Instead, his office wrote of the amendments Pennsylvania’s Democrat added to the bill, such as “Hold Pakistan Accountable on IEDs,” “Strengthen the National Guard” and “Require Sanctions on the Central Bank of Iran.”
