Common Ground for the Tea Party and the Occupy movement

The recent passage of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 by both houses of congress represents on on-going erosion of the very principles on which the U.S. prides itself.

The act allows the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens without trial, which is a clear violation of the constitution's 6th amendment.

Now the Tea Party typically mocks the Occupy movement, but here, it seems to me, the two groups should find some common ground.

The Tea Party has been very vocal in defense of the 2nd Amendment; Tea Party demonstrations are known for the open display of firearms.

The Tea Party is known to call for less government. Surely laws that allow the government to hold people without trial are not a movement in the direction of less government.

Wouldn't it be great if all the people of the United States were to see that preserving the U.S. Constitution is better than allowing the government to slide into totalitarianism?
