You know I argued with you once before and never got any substance, only a quick comment with my question being thrown back. Too many comments to handle to actually dig into the wonderful position the ACLU is taking perhaps?
The argument IS about the Bill of Rights. I have no problem with the ACLU's position. I don't think that the government should be able to violate the Constitution. Period. Full stop.
If the Government chooses to detain and question people, those people have rights. If the Government wants to put someone in prison, those suspects have rights. This isn't a new concept, and it isn't radical.
