"Actually it can apply to a US citizen which is what many have a problem with. If a US citizen is wrongfully arrested and accused of being an alien enemy combatant, how's he going to prove he's not when the suspension prevents him from questioning his detention?
I believe your argument here is that this is unlikely to happen which means there's still a possibility which also means it can apply to US citizens. And you're ok with that."
Yes, I am ok with that. Your argument is that if you can somehow imagine a far fetched possibility of a US citizen being trapped in the net of this law, no matter how remote that possibility may be, that it is better to let the terrorists do whatever they wish. That is insane. In a time when our homeland is subject to attack by terrorists who have already hit us very hard once, and have publicly declared their intent to do the same whenever they can, we have to do what we can to protect ourselves and our families.
"You think he lost his senses and kept losing his senses for months and weeks? And the lawyers involved in arguing his point, you think they were asked if this was sensible or were they asked to find a way to argue for its sensibility?
Look, I have stated my views on the matter and there is no need to keep going over it. I think Cheney made a poor decision on how to fight the battle, and I personally believe that he would have been much better served had he simply claimed executive privilege and been done with it. The other alternative is that since the fishing expedition was a result of an executive order, that order could easily be rescinded and re written.
The dems in Congress want to go on yet another fishing expedition with the sole intent of embarrassing the administration, but they are not entitled to look at everything and every e-mail that has gone through the executive branch, especially in view of the fact that no crime or malfeasance has been committed or even alleged. If the dems do not agree, let them win in court.
