You are so full of it.
You begin the thread asking if the Bill of Rights “covers non-citizens.”
You go on to specifically state you are talking about non-citizens within the US’s jurisdiction. (see Posts 18, 25, 30, 62, 72, 109, etc.)
After having been ridiculed for several hundred posts by those who know better, you are now trying to backtrack and make it appear as if you were only talking about non-citizens in foreign countries.
What a dolt.
Give it up.
"You begin the thread asking if the Bill of Rights “covers non-citizens.”
Please don't paraphrase me in quotes. Just quote me or don't use quotes at all.
In post 427 you brought up the question about "non-citizens".
In the post you just quoted, I even said that foreigners on their own (Chinese) land were "beside the issue". You don't care about the whole truth.
First track: Have you seen any Chinese reporters around who cheered the WTC bombing? Were they protected by the First Amendment? If Bush's administration kicked them out of the country legally, doesn't that mean that Congress somewhere has made a law that infringed on their freedom of expression? (among other rights in the BoR?) Did Bush act illegally in kicking them out?
If we've been spying on a Chinese citizen in China, and he comes to this country, do we have to get a warrant to continue to tap his phone? I certainly hope not.
Why do you and Barr want to find non-existent words in the Constitution about "US Soil", and extend the protection of the Bill of Rights to those we've identified as being enemies of the US who aren't even citizens?
If we've targeted Osama for assassination, and he gets on "US soil" somehow, we (the military, or the US Marshals) can't then just shoot him? I sure hope you're not in the military, providing for the common defense.
