Human rights are for everyone, but the rights he is speaking of for criminal trials etc. are clearly meant for citizens.

What about someone who is married to a U.S. citizen and has children here, and pays taxes here, but maintains citizenship in a strange alien place like the U.K. for instance. Does she get rights at trial or do you just take her out and shoot her because she is a noncitizen.

There is absolutely no excuse for proposing not to give due process to anyone. That may not mean letting suspected terrorists out on the street on bail. But when due process is denied to anyone there is a very high probability due process can be denied to you some day.

Excellent post. It is not only a very high probability that due process will be denied to all American citizens (and others) it is an absolute certainty! For the sake of convenience, some fat-assed politician can "appear" to be "tough on crime", just by labeling someone a "terrorist".

These treasonous pigs in DC will most definitely abuse this "law" if history is any indication.

These master-wanna-be's are so foriegn to the concepts embodied in the US Constitution, that they would have labeled our founding fathers as terrorists!
