Well this is the final nail in his coffin.
That Dum President FDR signed an EO to round up the Japanese.
Yes they can and HAVE done it.
Art. II Section 9 second clause. Allows suspension of habeus corpus during Rebellion or Invasion.
“Well this is the final nail in his coffin.”
Wouldn’t that be nice. We’ve heard that prediction for years over McCain’s duplicity. But I hope you’re right!
Curiouser and curiouser. The text of the bill, S.3081, is not on the Library of Congress Thomas website, nor at any other sites, including McCain’s Senate website list of legislation he is sponsoring. Yet this quotes the bill. Where this is provision come from?
.
Then why the need for a special bill like this?
FDR’s actions with respect to nationals of a hostile power makes sense. But with respect to citizens who were rounded up purely on the basis of their ethnicity, that does not.
But the Japanese issue is complicated, as I understand it, because it involved individuals who, although not citizens, were born here but denyed citizenship due to some racial quota.
If the Constitution already permits this kind of action, what is nut-boy John McCain doing here?
“Then why the need for a special bill like this?”
THAT is the question!
I really dislike and disturst McCain - very much.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama wanted this for some nefarious reason and asked McCain to be his front man on it.
We already got a jerk in the White House of questionable loyalty- lock him up!
Only if that martial law declaration suspends habeus corpus. Which it probably would.
You raise an interesting point.
McCain is a big amnesty supporter. What if this type of action was use to solve the illegal Alein problem?
Will he be willing to add that action to his bill?
Sounds like a real barnburner issue for JD. Needs to be reworked by someone familiar with the finer points of political argument. HUUUMMMM. Let Juan explain a bill that allows the Internment of American Citizens yet he wants amnesty for illegals.
Without a doubt the communists in power now and circumventing the constitution could declare conservative elements such as Tea Party participants as enemies of the state (current regime) and start rounding us/them up and off to holding camps. The possibility of this happening is more real than imagined.
They wouldn't need to round up everyone, just high profile people in sufficient numbers and covered in MSM, after which, resistance will crumble. We as a nation are weak internally, because we are so fragmented by the very large numbers of recent immigrants (legal & otherwise) who do not have any allegiance to our country nor the fundamental laws based on the constitution.
ping & bump for later read
Chief Justice: "Do you, Barry Goldwater, solemnly swear that you will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Goldwater: "I do. You're under arrest, Warren."
PS, Herr Blucher ... do the horses neigh at the mention of your name too?
“McCain is a big amnesty supporter. What if this type of action was use to solve the illegal Alein problem?”
That is a big problem with Federal bills - adding crap that isn’t relevant to the main thrust of the legislation, burying it by making changes in the U.S. codes by reference instead of quoting the changed passage in its entirety.
My point was that he is speaking out of both sides of his mouth. Hypocrit.
