The right to trial by jury would be denied entirely! Of course, any American could be held for decades without trial or even being charged with a crime under McCain's bill.Hmmm...
I wonder if McCain's bill will be used to detain all those nasty "domestic terrorists" (conservatives and libertarians), especially the ones the left derides as "teabaggers"!

I guess McCain wants to lose his election, but that’s a good thing.

Though suspicious to us, on the right -— I seriously doubt this would be aimed at law-abiding folks. Scary for anyone that DARE question the regime... but questioning is within our first amendment rights. Threratening harm or acting out, is not.

Not having the best year financially (especially after last week), but I have two contributions on my Must Do list: FR and J.D. Hayworth!
McCain needs to retire and take over from BobDole doing ads for male enhancement products. “Extenze works, my friend. A-heh-heh.”

the bill authorizes the President to deny a detainee a trial by jury simply by designating that person an enemy belligerent. And what is the difference between an "enemy belligerent" and an "illegal combatant" -- which McCain was somehow unable to recognize during the Bush administration?

This is all so difficult for me to comprehend. With that said, I think John McCain has to lose his election.

he bill would mandate military commissions rather than a jury trial, if and when the President deems to hold a trial.
Meanwhile BO's/BS's fellow muzzies who are enemy combatants get a trial by jury. It's truly astounding how people want to cling to a party that has consistently eschewed conservative principles.

It simply employs the phrase all criminal prosecutions, words that unequivocally apply to the military and civilian justice systems, as well as to both citizens and foreigners War is not a criminal activity. Treating it as if it were is in part how we got 9-11. We don't prosecute enemy soldiers, we kill them, or hold them as POWs, "for the duration". The fact that they might have started out as US citizens doesn't really affect that.
Clearly the founders envisioned a situation such as this when they wrote:
The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, ,i>unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.
Article 1 section 9, Constitution for the United States.
Definition Habeas Corpus
Can this be misused, bet your ass it can. But this is nothing outside of the Constitution. Will Obama abuse it? Probably. In which case, see tag line.

I don’t like McPain. I’ve been an advocate for his forced retirement forever. I would need to study this in depth, but upon completion of the reading of this article I’m left with a strong feeling there is Ron Paul influence behind it all.
I would believe Inhofe, and Sessions would not join with McPain in violating the Constitution in the manner depicted in this article, so I believe I will seek out the full text of this bill from another source before I go off raising Hell.
Go J.D.
