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

I wish McCain would just shut up and retire before he does any more damage.

[DeaconRed]

The RINO Mclaim. . . . .
I will believe anything.

Just as a heads-up, this was introduced last year and died an early death.

This provides massive incentive for citizens to evade arrest.

Apparently, McCain wants to extend Constitutional protections to foreign terrorists and eliminate them for American citizens.

The Enemy Belligerent Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010

Old news. This article is over a year old.

[MizSterious]

I’ve come to the conclusion that it wouldn’t have mattered who won in the last election. McCain and Obama have way too much in common.

[DTogo]

Any politician who co-sponsors and/or votes to approve this legislation is a self-declared domestic enemy of the Constitution.

R2/CW2 anyone??

[freedumb2003]

After destroying the 1st Amendment, it looks like McCain has the 4th and 5th in his sights.

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.

[rabscuttle385]

Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) has introduced a bill that would allow the President to imprison an unlimited number of American citizens....indefinitely without trial. Known as The Enemy Belligerent Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010, or S. 3081, the bill authorizes the President to deny a detainee a trial by jury simply by designating that person an “enemy belligerent.”

Just wait until Obama declares all Tea Partiers to be "enemy belligerents."

FUJM!!!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Mr. McKeating appears to be an "enemy belligerent."

What now?

[ilovesarah2012]

I'm pretty belligerent when it comes to Obama. Guess I better pack my bags.

[Shimmer1]

I loathe McCain and his daughter is a nut that didn’t fall any distance at all from the tree. (not an apple, a nut)

“simply by designating that person an “enemy belligerent.”

This is too much unchecked power for the president.

I can see the detention for terrorists, as the ones we captured in Afghanistan, etc., those who are in Guantanamo now — I can see a future need for “indefinite detention”, but that should be determined by some very clear criteria, by a military tribunal, or more, it most certainly should NOT be just at the decision of the president alone, or we will be in a dictatorship as soon as this becomes law, and we can all expect that “knock on the door” and indefinite detention — any criticism of the president could be defined as being “belligerent”, not as exercising our freedom of speech. Our Founding Fathers must be spinning in their grave.

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!

[TomGuy]

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.

I thought this was the AZConservative satire at first!
