It never happened in the past when PAUL and the left claimed these things and I call BS this time as well.

Actually it did happen to Joseph Padilla. As a writ of habeas corpus got close to the Supreme Court, Bush knew he would get his head handed to him so he turned Padilla over to the Justice Department. This law is just trying to further codify the Patriot Act.

However, when they try this again, if it makes it to the Supreme Court, this law will be struck down just like major pieces of the Patriot Act already have, and it will not be close (8-1 or 9-0) so they will have to use extrreme care to keep this law on the books.

On the other hand, that does not excuse the traitors that voted for it. May they rot in hell.

Yes I know of Padilla and agree that his case should have been handled differently but this is why we have a Judicial system.

I am not sure of what major pieces of the Patriot Act have been struck down. I have only seen it upheld by the Courts as being Constitutional.

Also one case does not make Paul right at all. The claims by Paul and others like him is that these laws would result in a loss of our liberty and not just the random single case that is to be disputed of the law being improperly applied.

Again that is why we have Courts and other checks and balances. Any law can be abused even if they are Constitutional or not.
