What is really sad about this matter is were it to be enacted, I am not certain the SC would void it and surely not if (.)bama gets another sycophant onto the court.

Comrades! Enjoy your new home in Siberia

Make that ALASKA, once Sarah is elected.

Wouldn't it be highly ironic to see those Dems getting the persecution in real life, that they've been claiming in their deranged persecution fantasies all along...? /sarc>

Cheers!

explicitly names U.S. citizens as among those who can be detained indefinitely without trial

No surprise that McCain would be supporting legislation that is constitutionally illegal.

And to think that the GOP nominated him as their standard bearer in 2008.

Old news. This article is over a year old.

I updated the header to reflect the actual published date of the article.

So we can stomp all over the constitutional rights of citizens but we can’t torture? Really?

I’ll agree if they start with the Obamaloon and McKennedy.

No trial.

No contact with anyone.

Forever.

Oh, more votes from me if they take McKennedy’s bimbo daughter with them.

What did they do to that guy in the Hanoi Hilton?

Pampered him with prostitutes, if Jack Wheeler is to be believed...

If you can’t make bail, you can be in jail for years without a trial.

Let’s start with any Presidents, Senators or Congressman who propose or enact any laws or policies that violate their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution. And waterboard them daily, too.
And let's end with them, too.

Let's call it the Tancredo Principle: Politicians who want to take away our rights are more dangerous than foreign terrorists.

Not just Obama. Our very "own" McStupid is right up there near the top of the list.

Don’t waste time waterboarding them, just bury them in anthills, no muss, no fuss and they won’t dream up any more unconstitutional ideas.

Isn’t there some kind of thingee about “a right to a speedy trial”?

Man you are right on the money there. Anybody who even thinks about voting for such a horrible piece of legislation should be bounced out on their ear. This is scary stuff.

I’m willing to say that anyone who endured 5 1/2 years in a Vietnamese prison and came out of it with integrity fairly intact is a hero. (And, I’m not interested in arguing McCain’s record in VN prison. Maybe he did; maybe he didn’t.).

But, that doesn’t automatically transfer to a pass on his legislative record, which is fairly mainstream except for some abysmally bad and anti-American/anti-Constitutional efforts on his part. Those anti- efforts, IMO, wipe out any moderate or otherwise fairly innocuous legislative record on his part.

We had no choice in the last election for president. That means between two parties before I get all the Ron Paul Bots.

And to think that the Republican Party offered this Elitist, collectivist, statist as their candidate.
