Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) has introduced a bill that would allow the President to imprison an unlimited number of American citizens (as well as foreigners) indefinitely without trial. So, Obama will then be able to designate conservatives as "enemy belligerents"! I guess he can then make the North Slope of Alaska USA's Siberia.
Enjoy your new home, Freepers!

To: Nachum
So holding them indefinitely without trial is OK - but you had BETTER invoke the physical reaction to drowning on them while they sit there - imprisoned by a Government that doesn't recognize their natural right to a trial by jury of his peers.
This is so Unconstitutional I was looking to see if it was satire or not!
They say it is hard to write satire these days.....

Can you imagine this guy as our President? I shudder when I contemplate the fact that I actually sent him money. The McLame “family” is another “political family” ( not unlike the Kennedy’s, Buse’s, et.al.) that needs to go away. The damage this man has done is legion, and yet the moron Republicans in Arizona just keep re-electing him. Seemingly, our only hope for turnover in the Senate is old age, or young women! Oh well, I do see that we have seven who are retiring at the end of this term. If only Hatch and Lugar would also oblige so we could get a couple of appointments before the next election.

I hadn’t heard that one. Do you have a source for that?

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights mean nothing to these idiots. The slippery slope of rationalizing the assault on our rights and liberties will ultimately end in a new country, the USSA!

Wheeler broke the story, and then was rebutted by another POW. This is the “rebuttal to the rebuttal”, but in any case you now know which Jack Wheeler. The original stuff is somewhere on there. Anyway, I was sceptical. Over time, I have become less sceptical.

I second that. The more he talks, the worse it gets.
To: Nachum
As the detainment of citizens on no basis is distinctly UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and as this man is a SWORN representative of the US Constitution, I point out that this man McCain is committing Treason and therefore is an Enemy Belligerent. Because of this, I feel he should be the first and last to fall under this ruling.
Please... Take him away...

There is one difference: Republicans and conservatives would be getting the blame for McCain’s insanity...

“enemy belligerent “
That will soon mean any person who doesn’t think like a Democrat/Muslim/Communist, if it doesn’t already.
That’s the end of America the exceptional, land of the free and home of the brave. And the judges already say the police can just walk (or break) into your house and . . .

Just as a heads-up, this was introduced last year and died an early death. Shhsh. You are not supposed to interrupt the fun of the McCain Deranged.

The man is insane. There is simply no question about it.
