McCain is coming after FR posters.

Detain anyone participating in a Tea Party until there are no more Tea Parties.

Good for Barry, good for Johnny.

McCain is off his rocker. This guy needs to be voted out immediately.

McCain is deranged and Palin needs to jump ship. Charlie Crist is a creepy tanning salon weirdo but he looks like a sane Repub compared to McCain.

On an earlier thread, today:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2495743/posts

Time’s Klein suggests that the actions of Palin and Beck come very close to “sedition”. Clearly, parts of the MSM would sit on their hands if certain of these people that they deem undesirable were to be spirited away!

McCain has lots of experience in taking away your First Amendment righst - it is called McCain-Feingold.

It simply employs the phrase “all criminal prosecutions,” words that unequivocally apply to the military and civilian justice systems, as well as to both citizens and foreigners

War is not a criminal activity. Treating it as if it were is in part how we got 9-11. We don't prosecute enemy soldiers, we kill them, or hold them as POWs, "for the duration". The fact that they might have started out as US citizens doesn't really affect that.

Clearly the founders envisioned a situation such as this when they wrote:

The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, ,i>unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.
Article 1 section 9, Constitution for the United States.

Definition Habeas Corpus

Can this be misused, bet your ass it can. But this is nothing outside of the Constitution. Will Obama abuse it? Probably. In which case, see tag line.

What idiot doesn’t understand that POWs on the battlefield are held indefinitely?

I don’t like McPain. I’ve been an advocate for his forced retirement forever. I would need to study this in depth, but upon completion of the reading of this article I’m left with a strong feeling there is Ron Paul influence behind it all.

I would believe Inhofe, and Sessions would not join with McPain in violating the Constitution in the manner depicted in this article, so I believe I will seek out the full text of this bill from another source before I go off raising Hell.

Go J.D.

What the hell is THE NEW AMERICAN?

“McCain is coming after FR posters.”

I hope I will be provided with WiFi in the gulags.

Wow. Give Obama the ability to start gulags? That has got to be the most insane proposal ever from a so-called Republican. If I were Hayworth, I’d be all over that comment and I wouldn’t let him weasel away from it either.

Here’s a guy who claims America tortures prisoners and then will give a tyrant carte blanche to lock up prisoners without charges indefinitely? Why is *that* not torture??

McCain has got to go. Take him out, JD. PLEASE make him go away.

An “enemy belligerent” is anybody who opposes the Washington ruling class.

What is the publication?

Leftover Birch Society crapola?

That would make sense coming from you.

Man, the king would then only have to pronounce a disfavored citizen as an enemy belligerant and bingo—they will be disappearing into prisons as fast as people do in N. Korea and China. Has Alzheimers started to affect mclame?
