Suspend? Unlimited? Rule of law? Those things weren't even on the table.
Respectfully, do you have any idea what was being debated?
Yes,
The issue at stake is whether the President can indefinitely hold "enemy combatants" without due process, without Geneva Convention protections (IF THEY APPLY), and give them military commisions outside of SCOTUS jurisdiction as their only due process. SCOTUS disagreed with this today. Don't know where it will go, but my view is that we should...
Procedures to follow, in a nutshell.
If Al-Qaeda, try, prove, find guilty or innocent, and either IMPRISON (if guilty) or release (if innocent).
If legitimate POW, hold in appropriate facility humanely with oversight from Congress and SCOTUS, and release after end of our wars.
Simple LEGAL procedures we can follow that maintain our national security AND maintain our rule of law/values.
