Members of Congress), they can't deny,or rather, Suspend US citizens' due process rights.<br /><br />Scalia's dissent in Hamdi is actually better law (in every sense) than the plurality opinion in that case.<br /><i>Where the Government accuses a citizen of waging war against it, our constitutional tradition has been to prosecute him in federal court for treason or some other crime. Where the exigencies of war prevent that, the Constitution’s Suspension Clause, Art. I, §9, cl. 2, allows Congress to relax the usual protections temporarily. Absent suspension, however, the Executive’s assertion of military exigency has not been thought sufficient to permit detention without charge.</i><br />http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/03-6696.ZD.htmlbeowulfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987548132065830204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-17988673857362840602011-11-27T15:43:45.422-05:002011-11-27T15:43:45.422-05:00I agree with Dan.I agree with Dan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-68182792479895360872011-11-27T11:25:06.446-05:002011-11-27T11:25:06.446-05:00Dan, the majority of Americans are taken in by the...Dan, the majority of Americans are taken in by the "terrorism is coming to your town" rationale and don't see the pen being set up to contain them.
