I am debating the Military Tribunal (which has nothing to do with the Patriot Act). I believe the President was within his authority to do so. I like the idea of a military tribunal because it keeps innocent American citizens out of the mix. [ Unlike the Patriot Act which targets all Americans.]
I watched the committe hearing on the Tribunal today. I came away with a presentation of facts and law from the Assit AG and a bunch of "would haves, should haves, ought to have's" from the Senators. I have yet to hear any of them say "The President acted out his scope of Power based on this fact, this law, etc." I heard whines. I heard posturing. But I did not hear cold, hard facts.
I am trying to be responsible by making my judgements based on facts presented.
