maybe - but you CANNOT apply it to enemy combatants, ever, period, under any circumstance.

I agree the founders intent with regards to the Bill of Rights was/is that it does not apply to enemy combatants not on US soil or who are not US citizens (wherever they are).

Let me state my position in post 290 positively for (hopefully) more clarity.

US citizens enjoy the protections of the Bill of Rights wherever they are, non citizens do not enjoy such protections when not in the US. (We enjoy protections against our own government not protections against foreign governments (this is why we can’t ignore local laws while overseas))

Both citizens and non citizens enjoy the protections of the Bill of Rights while on US soil, with the exception of the second amendment. Non-citizens never enjoy this protection.
