“The legislation that I had cited, S.3930, [provides military commissions the jurisdiction to try any offense made punishable by this chapter (articles 904 and 906 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice) or the law of war by an alien unlawful enemy before, on, or after September 11, 2001.]

You keep making claims like ‘McCain is too stupid to know this...The really amazing thing is I don’t think McCain and some posters get it. Stupid.’ Yet you don’t even appear to be familiar with this legislation that contradicts your claims.”

The legislation does not apply inside the CONUS. Sorry. McCain can say” I’m going to make a law that makes it illegal to have an abortion anywhere in the United States” and it would not be worth the paper it was printed on.

McCain is not running for emperor.

Case law allows writ for detainees inside the CONUS and that is Constitutional according to the courts.

Yes it does. Nowhere in the legislation does it make exemptions for CONUS.
