Comment on Senate Votes To Let Military Detain Americans Indefinitely

Can this be reversed immediately by the next president/Congress if it passes now?

Theoretically, yes. In practice, repealing a law is harder than passing its inverse (no idea why), so it would never happen. Once a law is passed, your best hope is the courts (edit to add: which have a poor track record on handling the 'terrorism' excuse).
