Thank you for proving my statement in the original OP correct, that arguing for indefinate detention of US citizens and thinking that's patriotism, is insane.The courts changed it, sort of.
Padilla was held for 19 months as a material witness. This meant no charges were filed but he still was detained. Sadly, this abuse has not changed and the federal government does it all the time. It's an abuse of the law. A quick fix would be a law that anyone held as a material witness is granted instant immunity from any charge connected with the case they are a witness for.
Maybe you should go live in Weimar, Germany, thinking that kind of shit?
Where does it say that in the Bill of Rights?Once Padilla was moved to Gitmo, things changed. He wasn't there long, about 4 months.
Here we go again, you just don't stop with the lies, do you? Show me anywhere in this thread where I've said that.Loincloth lies when he claims that his terrorist buddies were shipped off to not be seen again.
That's not true. The SCOTUS decision was about giving "detainees" 3rd Geneva Convention rights. Nothing has changed section 950v of the MCA.Hamdi v. Rumsfield changed the ability to hold American citizens as unlawful combatants and Padilla was sent back to the civilian courts for trial.
There is only one kind of person that has an "allegiance" to the United States..............."CITIZEN".Sec. 950v. Crimes triable by military commissions
(26) WRONGFULLY AIDING THE ENEMY- Any person subject to this chapter who, in breach of an allegiance or duty to the United States, knowingly and intentionally aids an enemy of the United States, or one of the co-belligerents of the enemy, shall be punished as a military commission under this chapter may direct.
