Congress passed the Bill with veto proof numbers. We can spend hundreds of billions on star wars but that 10 billion subsidy for health care for the working poor must go, as must the plutocracy perpetuating estate tax.

I recall Theodore Postol from MIT leading critic of missile defense. For one thing, most tests occurred at a target coming east across the Pacific as the sun set behind the target with no decoys. 1/2 missed under ideal conditions.

Obviously things will change on Jan 20th. All missile interceptors will be moved to Mar-a-Lago after Trump bombs some nation somewhere.

President Obama signs defense bill that could spur new space-based arms race

President Obama has signed legislation that, by striking a single word from longstanding U.S. nuclear defense policy, could heighten tensions with Russia and China and launch the country on an expensive effort to build space-based defense systems.

--snip--

Huge bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress approved the policy changes over the past month, with virtually no public debate.

Although the White House had earlier criticized the changes, it stopped short of threatening a veto. On Friday, Obama signed the legislation.
