I do not see anything in this article claiming that Obama is considering this in regard to United States citizens. There is nothing un-Constitutional about this as it pertains to foreign illegal enemy combatants engaged in waging war against the United States.

If this is used against U.S. citizens then it is un-Constitutional if it is used against non-U.S. citizens then it is not.

Keep reading. You've a lot to catch up with.

This is just one of many articles on the subject.

Not according to the U.S. Supreme Court. They've never overturned their decision in Korematsu, which allowed WWII internment of U.S. citizens with Japanese (and some with Italian & German) ancestry.

“There is nothing un-Constitutional about this as it pertains to foreign illegal enemy combatants ... “

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/14th+Amendment

“nor shall any State deprive ***any person*** of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

Let’s get with the program/agenda, If, unless you want to wind up in a cattle car.

The problem is—according to the living, breathing, empathetic Constitution—conservatives (like unborn children) are not `persons’, while foreign (illegal) enemy combatants (much like “undocumented immigrants” and their offspring are victims of racist American nativists) are not only persons, and entitled to `3 hots and a cot’, medical care, jobs and 600 thread count sheets, but adherents to the Religion of Peace and innocent victims of torture perpetrated by the diabolical Bush administration.

hmmm...let's see...President fires GM CEO, bank CEOs, Investment firms CEOs.....Transfers ownership to Unions and forces bond holders to accept pennies on the dollar.

That's not within the powers of the president as set forth in the Constitution.....but he did it anyway....
