If the determination was made on the basis of politics it would. But that’s not what I am suggesting.
Any objective measure of what constitutes an enemy combatant comes up saying Obama is one. This isn’t politics. This isn’t banana republic. This is the military doing what both the NDAA and their officer’s oath DEMANDS that they do.
Sort of like the Honduran Constitution REQUIRED the government to oust the guy who tried to serve 2 terms. It was not a military coup or a banana republic; it was the system obeying their Constitution.
Well, I can’t help you to see it simply won’t work, because of the long traditions of the USA being a Constitutional Republic. There’s absolutely nothing in all our traditions for our entire history that would give any “backing” for this.
All you are offering is a “Johnny-come-lately” law, designed for terrorists that the public recognizes as terrorists - against - the entire history of the USA and its Constitution.
If you can’t see that ... there’s nothing much more I can do about that.
