The Constitution nowhere says that they are and up until a few years ago, no American jurist ever suggested that they were.
To claim that Yemenis in Cuba have the same legal rights as American citizens in America is to mock the Constitution.
The Founding Fathers of the United States of America DID NOT WRITE the U.S. Constitution for a bunch of Islamofascists killing Americans and trying to destroy OUR country! If Obammie had spent more time in the United States and less time in Indonesia, who would know that. The SCOTUS “mocked” the Constitution when they gave constitutional rights to maggots who have never even been to this country. Stuff it Obammie!!!
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.
Congress gave President Bush that power in the legislation they passed authorizing him to fight the War on Terror. So it's entirely Constitutional.
The Constitution allows the writ of habeas corpus to be suspended in cases of rebellion or invasion when the public safety requires it. The Founders understood that defending the public safety against foreign enemies and domestic rebels so why doesn't Barack Obama?
The man is a dumb a## and a danger to us and himself. Obama the global president feels everyone in the world has the same rights as an American citizen. Don’t mock the constitution! coming from a man I doubt knows whats in it. This is a man we want to lead our country?
He will inflict unmeasurable damage if this comes to pass.
Is Obama actually saying that foreign TERRORISTS have American rights (that our founding fathers set up)?!
Miranda rights are nowhere in the Constitution.
Funny that Obama doesn’t know this, apparently.
Obama has been sounding kinda angry lately,ehh? perhaps that light coming down from the heavens telling people they must vote for Obama burned out...
Palin is right. SCOTUS and 0 are wrong.
Sucks to be 0.
Obama doesn’t care about the constitution, he cares about “empathy”. The kind of empathy that finds infanticide in the constitution...
"First of all, you don't even get to read them their rights until you catch 'em," Obama said here, drawing laughs from 1,500 supporters in a high school gymnasium. "They should spend more time trying to catch Osama bin Laden and we can worry about the next steps later."
Read them their rights when you catch them in Afganistan, Pakistan, or Iraq? LoL!
Obama forgets that the Constitution is for the people of the United States. Sounds to me that a lot of people forget that these days.

Who is accusing whom of mocking what? I could make a remark about pots and kettles, but I might be accused of racism.
Or may be he's both, so what you're saying Barack is that you would kill the terrorists; take them out, burn them, ect. BUT first would ask them for ID and read them their rights? This guy is losing it.
Also Barack, what do you MEAN by, “These people?”
Terrorists are people too, and their rights must be given priority over the “bitter” people.
I estimate the O’s IQ at about 90-100. He’s quite ignorant and not far from being stupid. He didn’t “get it” that Sarah was making a jab at the doofi (is that a word? it is now!) who think terrorists should get Constitutional protection of their rights!
Palin’s response should be: “Senator Obama says that the question of whether unborn American babies have rights is too complicated, that the question is so difficult it is ‘above his pay grade.’ But not the rights of foreign terrorists trying to murder Americans. Senator Obama is absolutely certain that they are entitled to every consideration that law-abiding Americans are.”
“We don’t always catch the right person,” he said. “We may think it’s Mohammed the terrorist, but it might be Mohammed the cab driver. You might think it’s Barack the bomb-thrower, but it might be Barack the guy running for president.”
So if we catch a guy on a battlefield, we’ve got to give him a right to file a writ of habeus corpus in order to assure that we are not arresting a mere cab driver, or a Democrat running for President?
“You might think it’s Barack the bomb-thrower, but it might be Barack the guy running for president.”
A lot of us might very well make that mistake.
