If this is true you should have no problem finding us lots of
references
for
this statement Larry.

Now I want you to read this, Scott, especially the last paragraph with
the
words of Founding Father, James Madison. It is entitled "No Charges and
No
Trial; Just Jail": http://www.cato.org/dailys/08-21-03.html

I'm sorry Larry, but Jose Padilla ceded his American Citizenship when he
trained
with a foreign military to fight against the United States.

Where's your authority for that? You won't produce it, of course, because
you have none. Federal courts have already interceded for Padilla and
ordered the "Justice" Department to try him under constitutional guidelines
or release him.


Do you also think the Rosenbergs deserved a traditional jury trial for
selling
atomic bomb secrets to the Soviets and that the goverment was heavy-handed
in
trying them under the Espionage Act of 1917?

I'm not surprised that's the best you can do, considering you show an
amazing
lack of comprehension by comparing a sitting US President with a mass
murderer.

Cite? You been smoking too much crack, fella.
