Looking at the senates site on this, they were saying that the bill may be presented to congress under a different title. Don't know they could do that unless they attach it to something else. Another reason why I would be in favor of single issue legislation. Looks like alot of usurping the Constitution going on. Serve the admiralty.

Good bye Bill Of Rights. Hello 1930 German.


Just a side note....to all the 911 loyalists. Are you starting to have the slightest clue that 911 needed to happen to destroy the constitution ? Watch out....you or your family might one day be considered a terrorist....

Military can arrest citizens without due process?

Considering the fact that it has a clause in it specificlly stating that US citizens are NOT allowed to be detained and that NO LAW passes by Congress supersedes the Constituition I'm having a hard time figuring out how anyone comes up with some of the rants I've heard and read about this law. It's intent (and wording) is to make it clear that enemy combatant terrorists caught in US soil are prisoners of war and are to be treated as such. Any attempt to say otherwise is not grounded in fact, legal basis, or US case law. This bill is solely to clarify to the ACLU that suing to get a foreign national in the US charged with terrorism in the US treated like a citizen is not going to be used as a stalling tactic anymore. Stick a fork in it, it's done.

When you allow a lie to go unchallenged, it becomes the truth.

My quandary, I personally, don't think I have enough Handi's but, I know I have more Handi's than I really need or should have.

The specific language of the proposed law states it does not apply to US citizens. I know this is the conspiracy theory section but jeez....
