So that makes what, the twelth time you've avoided defnding your claim that Americans are exempt from the resolution?
Are you trying to set a record for avoiding a point?
If someone else pings me to this thread, I'll come back.
The Act would have to spell out the Judicial changes for it to apply. Now lets see if you can get this. The Bush Administration has NOT even implied that this power is derived from the Resolution. If the Administration is NOT using this to make its case, then what is your problem? Even so, the UCMJ has provisions similar to the 5th and 14th Amendments are being violated.
Finally, call your Representative and ask them if they voted for the Resolution so that an American Citizen can be captured on American Soil and held by the US Military as an Enemy Combatant cite Padella? The answer may surprise you. Again I have spoken to the Senate Judicary Republicans and they have said the same.
If this is going to be your position then your not much on protecting the Constitution.
Sorry I did not see your post to me so my reply it's late. I do not know about every single case. But the ones you cited there was no judicial activism that I can see. Finally with regards to the Judges conscience. I note that he is visiting these people in jail. Who cares if the Judge is doing this as long as he renders the proper judicial decision. The Judge seems to be able to separate his job from his conscience.
