I don’t agree with you at all. There are already scores of bills that identify support of the enemy as being its own special status in regards to National Security and for the most part it has never been abused. I do not find it to be un-Constitutional at all and in numerous occasions throughout history American citizens have even been executed without a trial for sup[porting the enemy. It is a fact of life and as usual there are many who are having knee-jerk reactions to bills meant to protect innocent Americans from another terrorist attack.

And if you do not see that then it is you who are a part of the problem. The next terrorist attack in America could be 300,000 Americans dead or even 3 million Americans dead. So you had better have more than some vague comment about how you feel that they may abuse the wording of a bill in order to lock up Americans being that we would all see it and oppose it if it was abused anyway. If you want to risk all of us to another terrorist attack by opposing every bill intended to protect us then come up with more than well this may be interpreted wrongly.

Look at the quote, that section doesn’t tag up on another bill. There are sections of the bill that refer to other bills, that part doesn’t, “support” stands undefined.

As for your running to body count, living in a free country entails risk it always has. Our entire legal system is built on the maxim that it’s better to let 100 guilty men go free than convict 1 innocent man. Which is part of the problem with this bill, it runs the exact opposite, much like your defense of it. This is not the bill of a free country, your defense of the bill is not a defense that belongs in a free country. I’d RATHER 300 MILLION dead than even 1 imprisoned indefinitely without trial for undefined “support” of an undefined enemy. If we can’t live with those ideal then we deserve to die, the enemy has already won at that point. The level of paranoia and freedom destruction you espouse is the goal of terrorism.
