“After endless legal battles”

You really want us to believe, at the very best, that an equally gargantuan effort to get habeas would not be required the next time Obama comes down on some “redneck militia”?

No I dont. Since this bill does not give the govt detention powers regarding US citizens it already has, an arrested redneck militiaman would go through the same legal battles Hamdi and Padilla did. So it could require large efforts for said detained redeck to get Habeus Corpus-and it would be at least as big, if not more so, of a legal hassle for the govt to do the it. And that is just for one individual case, much less with regards to going after hundreds of thousands of rednecks.
