Obama called for new legal system to allow for Prolonged Detention of enemy combatants outside the Military or Civilian Court system. This will be a Presidential power not afforded by the constitution that has never been attempted in Amercian History even by George W. Bush & Dick Cheney. the power to imprison someone without cause and hold them indefinitely. I am not against holding enemies of war in detention for interrogation for a period of time, and trying them through a military tribunal. However, This may be the literal death of habeaus corpus that safeguards our individual freedom against unlawful detention. Why create a new legal system? Why not work within the one we have used for centuries? I don’t trust this. It smells rotten and it probably is. “The concept of preventive detention is at the very boundary of American law” -NY Times.
(You know this must be REALLY RADICAL when even Rachel Maddow is Alarmed!)
Both parties have contributed to the destruction of liberty and the rule of law through their insatiable thirst for control and power over the very people who they are supposed to serve.
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or certainty of corruption by full authority…” – Lord Acton
ASK ME AGAIN WHY I THINK GOVERNMENT IS NOT THE ANSWER!
Remember to VOTE in November and to take out the trash in Washington!
May God bless You, Your Family & America!
