Patriot act is not the law of the land, Constitution is.

The idiot justices ruled that the Congress' authorization to seek out and destroy Al Qaeda did not include the right to detain al Qaeda. Evidently you are not one of the three or four on the thread who understand the ruling. But then again, it's tough to understand when you haven't read it so I can empathise a bit.

[Lazamataz]

instead it bizarrely pretended that miltary force does not include military detention.

Authorising multary force by Congress certainly does not allow the US military or it's assigns to round up American citizens.

The court was correct in it's ruling.

Posse Comatitus might apply here.

Cripes.

If the Al Qaedee is American, the Al Qaedee has the rights of an American citizen.

End of story.

(cue sound track of jwalsh07 sobbing into his cheerios)

[mrsmith]

It's truly a bizarre ruling.
Would overturn 200 years of constitutional interpretation if it held- which it won't.

[jwalsh07]

The Constitution assigns the power to execute wars to?

A. The Second Circuit
B. The Executive
C. The ACLU

[Lazamataz]

Aw hell. Yer right. Let's just do away with police forces, judges, courts, and the Constitution and run this place like Saddam did.

I get first dibs on ya, though.

[Bogie]

Yes, we have to keep ourselves from being defiled.

[Lazamataz]

D. The Constitution forbids executing wars on American citizens by enumerating the right to life.

[mrsmith]

It always has- if they are combatants.

But what do you care about the Constitution? No more than these Clinton judges thank you very much.

[John Valentine]

Well, it seems you do, if you enter intoe the armed forces o0f a foreign state agains the United States.

Padilla didn't do that, so, I guess he's still a citizen, to our collective shame.

But, he should still be held as a military detainee.

[Lazamataz]

Bite me.

[tcuoohjohn]

Either they have the evidence to charge him or they don't. If they do quit playing games and charge him. If they don't have the goods to charge him and take to trial then his arrest and detention is a fraud.

The Judges made the right decision. Your cannot selectively apply the Constitution to only those defendants you like.

[jwalsh07]

The Constitution forbids executing wars on American citizens by enumerating the right to life.

Incoherent.

[mrsmith]

"There may be 3 or 4 people on this thread who understand that. "

In fact I don't believe any of the Freepers who just might intelligently try to defend this ruling have shown up.
Maybe there'll be some good discussion tomorrow, but I don't think anyone will go for this.

[tcuoohjohn]

The simple fact is your post was silly. There is no " renegade" provision in our law.

[jwalsh07]

I get first dibs on ya, though

Great, I've always had an affinty for physical violence but its been scarce of late.

[jwalsh07]

Yeah, gotta go myself. See ya around.
