But, even if Bin Laden were on American soil, he’s not an American citizen, but an enemy combatant, or whatever the politically correct term for someone we are at war with.

Of course the liberals oppose military tribunals. They insist that terrorists get civilian trials, even though not American citizens, and even though they have declared war on America.

I’m sure glad Rosie “weighed in” on this issue. It was nice to see Michael Moore “weigh in” too.

Do Rosie and Michael ever talk to another good liberal named Michelle Obama? They could talk to her about how to fight obesity.

Yeah, I have a problem with that too but the 14th Amendment is clear when it uses the word "citizen" in the first part and then the word " person" after that. It wouldn't have mattered if he were a citizen or not to be afforded due process of law.

No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;

If the word "citizen" were used in both places, we wouldn't currently have an illegal immigration problem. Probably.
