Hey you guys, give Obambi a break. He may be talking about the Kenyan Constitution and not the American.
The question, as I see Barack framing it, is, "Does the U.S. Constitution apply to those outside the United States?" If, as Sen. Obama implies, it does, then he needs to call out all countries that deny rights guaranteed by OUR Constitution to their citizens. Is he willing to take on muslim countries that deny freedom of religion? or press? I think not. What about muslim counties that treat women as second or third class citizens? Sen. Obama's silence is deafening. Is he willing to call out Don't bet on it.
IMHO, Constitutional protections stop at our border. They cannot (and should not) be extended to the citizens other contries via caveat. Otherwise, the U.S. is faced with declaring war on every country that does not honor the God given rights enumerated in the Untied States Constitution.
Newsflash for Obama:
The United State Constituition doesn’t apply to terrorists!
"Al-Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America and he's worried that someone won't read them their rights."
Damn, that's a great line. And a true one. Go Sarah!
Satire , right?
Obama needs to explain how U.S. constitutional rights apply to foreign terrorists. He’s a lawyer, isn’t he?
So shut the hell up.
It’s not clear that he understands habeas corpus. It doesn’t have to do with grabbing the wrong guy. It has to do with grabbing and holding the right guy but without charging him with a crime. That’s very serious stuff, which is why the Constitution says you can’t do it except in times of rebellion or invasion. He’s a constitutional lawyer, he says.
Obama sounds shriller by the day. I don’t know if I can stand it for another two months until he’s gone.
This is hilarious, or would be if it wasn’t also so serious. “Don’t Mock the Constitution”, from a guy who never passed up an opportunity to infringe on the right of the people protected by the Second Amendment to that very same Constitution.
