Yep. How can you confer the right to a jury of your peers when these people aren't citizens? By doing these things? They are setting the Constitution on it's ear. (But then when did they give a rat's ass about the Constitution anyway)?
They should instead do a Military Tribunal as has been done throughout history with Prisoners Of War/Enemy combatants.
Do you know why we have over 2,200,000 prisoners in these US? Because the right to a jury of peers has been ignored:
"The right to a trial by jury is guaranteed to every citizen ...... by the Constitution ......The very idea of a jury is a body of men composed of the peers or equals of the person whose rights it is selected or summoned to determine -- that is, of his neighbors, fellows, associates, persons having the same legal status in society as that which he holds. Blackstone, in his Commentaries, says,
"The right of trial by jury, or the country, is a trial by the peers of every Englishman, and is the grand bulwark of his liberties, and is secured to him by the Great Charter."
U.S. Supreme Court
Strauder v. West Virginia, 100 U.S. 303 (1879)
.
What the FUCK are you talking about here? Right to TRIAL for Foreigners? What part of the Constitution guarantees this to FOREIGN INVADERS?
People plucked off the battlefield that are in POW status?
You're WRONG. Admit it. I'll wait.
AGAIN,
This argument was REJECTED by SCOTUS in:
Boumediene v. Bush, 128 S.Ct. 2229, 171 L.Ed.2d 41 (U.S. 06/12/2008)
