I agree, he is an idiot.Well, the Constitution is a living breathing document, so who's to say that the First Amendment really protects speech or that the habeas corpus provision means that the person holding a prisoner actually has to bring the body of the accused to a court?
Actually, as with many things, there is a Civil War precedent. In the case of Ex Parte Merryman, a Federal Ciruit Court ordered that the Federal Executive branch bring Mr. Merryman to court and charge him. The arresting official refused, sending word that he did not work for the judicial branch. The Circuit Court judge was livid, and ordered the official to come to court himself. The executive branch official, when the US Marshal arrived at Fort McHenry, just tapped the muzzle of his cannon and said, "This is my habeas corpus" and told the judge to perform an unnatural act on himself.
For the record, I believe the good general is a bit out to lunch here.
Look at the Sedition laws under Woodie Wilson (far and away the worst Virginia President) during WW I.With this kind of power my problem is with the government they could call anybody disloyal and put them away. I don't like obama or his policies could I be considered disloyal? Not just this administration but any of them.

Despicable.
He gets us into a war where we are not at threat and his favorite movie was one that praised the KKK.Look at the Sedition laws under Woodie Wilson (far and away the worst Virginia President) during WW I.

Conspiracy theory, you say??So all the conspiracy theories about concentration camps being built all across this country don't seem so wild and crazy now do they?
http://revelation12.ca/?p=2119My name is not important but what I want to tell you may be very important to this country. I work for a private contractor that secretly goes to work sites and performs add-ons or retrofits in construction, electrical etc. We are sworn to secrecy in some of our jobs and we are very well paid.......
In each corner of the Walmart they are constructing 4 guard towers or at least they look like guard towers. There is no question what I am seeing here. This made the hairs on the back of neck stand on end. All the display counters and shelves from this Walmart have been taken out of the store. The story that they are saying about plumbing is BS.
and it does give one pause, and makes us wonder about what's really going on in this country.Retired US Army General and the former Supreme Allied Commander of Europe for NATO Wesley Clark advocates rounding up “radicalized” and “disloyal” Americans and putting them in internment camps for the “duration” of the war on terror.
His idea about this isn't a "left" thing. I don't know a single person on the left that would support what he's suggesting. I'm not saying it's a "right" thing, either. I honestly don't know where the heck he's coming from. Sounds like somebody forgot to take some much-needed medication.The above makes me wonder enough to ask a simple question of those on the left.
Is this your vision of what America should be?
It's what can happen when you grow up inside an echo chamber.His idea about this isn't a "left" thing. I don't know a single person on the left that would support what he's suggesting. I'm not saying it's a "right" thing, either. I honestly don't know where the heck he's coming from. Sounds like somebody forgot to take some much-needed medication.
Whether it is left-statists or right-statists, they both seek to increase the increase in the state's power. The problems are two: 1) it frequently violates the Constitution and 2) it creates an apparatus that the other side of the spectrum can use against the original proposers of the new power.Truly scary.
However, I don't think anyone is completely immune, left, right, up or down. When people do not see things your way and one sees the others as a threat there is a real danger of falling into this mindset.
