the constitution is substantially suspended when your very survival is at issue.

Hope you won't mind this when it is your ancestral folks whom the powers-that-be decide are a possible, future threat, you can't be allowed the freedoms inherent in being a citizen of this country and they toss you into some camp.

REALITY ALERT: this is exactly what occurs in every war. Survival of the U.S. comes first. Constitutional violations are always dealt with later---if at all. (See: Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, habeas corpus; Japanese in WW II; various spy cases in WW I and II).

You can rant and rave about it all you like, but it will happen in this war, and in the next, and the next. No society engages in war without some violations of its "civil rights." None . . . at least, none that survived.
