WASHINGTON (AP) The Justice Department on Monday released a long-secret legal document from 2001 in which the Bush administration claimed the military could search and seize terror suspects in the United States without warrants.
The legal memo was written about a month after the Sept. 11 terror attacks. It says constitutional protections against unlawful search and seizure would not apply to terror suspects in the U.S., as long as the president or another high official authorized the action.

The memo was one of nine released Monday by the Obama administration.

“Terror Suspects” will be interpreted as “Christians” or “any who oppose 0bama”.

He is a Muslim and a tool for the Saudis. I know people who do business in Africa at a high level and the execs and govt people in Africa all have he is a Muslim.
The Saudi money bought him the election.

Obama is willing to sell out America’s security to score political points to satisfy the red meat left. This man is an enemy of the state!

We’re going to have to have another 9-11 before the Bozos in congress try to reign Zero in. Even a little.

Bush was just being like Abe Lincoln. I thought Obama said that more presidents should be like Lincoln.

Yes he is an enemy of the state. A traitor within the white house. Feeding agitprop to the world to justify a continued jihad against the US. And this from the Commander in Chief.

Obama really wants a civil war, doesn’t he? No wonder the comparisons to Lincoln.
These memos will never be interpreted as they should be, they will be viewed as prosecutorial evidence.

‘long as the president or another high official authorized the action.’
LOL.
The Constitution isn’t to defend the ‘terror’ suspects, but to limit Gov’t.

Obama is insane. He’s also owned by the Saudis.
Look how fast he’s tearing down the country...before we get wise to him? We’d better start figuring it out.

In that memo, Yoo wrote that the president could treat terrorist suspects in the United States like an invading foreign army. For instance, he said, the military would not have to get a warrant to storm a building to prevent terrorists from detonating a bomb.Now, they'll have to wait until they track down a judge. Great plan.

Let the Democrats argue against what this Yoo guy wrote. Should be fun.
We should talk about Osama’s hero FDR and his forcibly removing Japanese-Americans from their homes and placing them in internment camps.
