    Default Rounding Up U.S. Citizens

    Because the bill was adopted with lightning speed, barely anyone noticed that it empowers Bush to declare not just aliens, but also U.S. citizens, "unlawful enemy combatants."


    By Marjorie Cohn

    The Military Commissions Act of 2006 governing the treatment of detainees is the culmination of relentless fear-mongering by the Bush administration since the September 11 terrorist attacks.

    Because the bill was adopted with lightning speed, barely anyone noticed that it empowers Bush to declare not just aliens, but also U.S. citizens, "unlawful enemy combatants."

    Bush & Co. has portrayed the bill as a tough way to deal with aliens to protect us against terrorism. Frightened they might lose their majority in Congress in the November elections, the Republicans rammed the bill through Congress with little substantive debate.

    Anyone who donates money to a charity that turns up on Bush's list of "terrorist" organizations, or who speaks out against the government's policies could be declared an "unlawful enemy combatant" and imprisoned indefinitely. That includes American citizens.

    The bill also strips habeas corpus rights from detained aliens who have been declared enemy combatants. Congress has the constitutional power to suspend habeas corpus only in times of rebellion or invasion. The habeas-stripping provision in the new bill is unconstitutional and the Supreme Court will likely say so when the issue comes before it.

    Although more insidious, this law follows in the footsteps of other unnecessarily repressive legislation. In times of war and national crisis, the government has targeted immigrants and dissidents.

    In 1798, the Federalist-led Congress, capitalizing on the fear of war, passed the four Alien and Sedition Acts to stifle dissent against the Federalist Party's political agenda. The Naturalization Act extended the time necessary for immigrants to reside in the U.S. because most immigrants sympathized with the Republicans.

    The Alien Enemies Act provided for the arrest, detention and deportation of male citizens of any foreign nation at war with the United States. Many of the 25,000 French citizens living in the U.S. could have been expelled had France and America gone to war, but this law was never used. The Alien Friends Act authorized the deportation of any non-citizen suspected of endangering the security of the U.S. government; the law lasted only two years and no one was deported under it.

    The Sedition Act provided criminal penalties for any person who wrote, printed, published, or spoke anything "false, scandalous and malicious" with the intent to hold the government in "contempt or disrepute." The Federalists argued it was necessary to suppress criticism of the government in time of war. The Republicans objected that the Sedition Act violated the First Amendment, which had become part of the Constitution seven years earlier. Employed exclusively against Republicans, the Sedition Act was used to target congressmen and newspaper editors who criticized President John Adams.

    Subsequent examples of laws passed and actions taken as a result of fear-mongering during periods of xenophobia are the Espionage Act of 1917, the Sedition Act of 1918, the Red Scare following World War I, the forcible internment of people of Japanese descent during World War II, and the Alien Registration Act of 1940 (the Smith Act).

    During the McCarthy period of the 1950s, in an effort to eradicate the perceived threat of communism, the government engaged in widespread illegal surveillance to threaten and silence anyone who had an unorthodox political viewpoint. Many people were jailed, blacklisted and lost their jobs. Thousands of lives were shattered as the FBI engaged in "red-baiting."

    One month after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, United States Attorney General John Ashcroft rushed the U.S.A. Patriot Act through a timid Congress. The Patriot Act created a crime of domestic terrorism aimed at political activists who protest government policies, and set forth an ideological test for entry into the United States.

    In 1944, the Supreme Court upheld the legality of the internment of Japanese and Japanese-American citizens in Korematsu v. United States. Justice Robert Jackson warned in his dissent that the ruling would "lie about like a loaded weapon ready for the hand of any authority that can bring forward a plausible claim of an urgent need."

    That day has come with the Military Commissions Act of 2006. It provides the basis for the President to round-up both aliens and U.S. citizens he determines have given material support to terrorists. Kellogg Brown & Root, a subsidiary of Cheney's Halliburton, is constructing a huge facility at an undisclosed location to hold tens of thousands of undesirables.

    In his 1928 dissent in Olmstead v. United States, Justice Louis Brandeis cautioned, "The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding." Seventy-three years later, former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer, speaking for a zealous President, warned Americans "they need to watch what they say, watch what they do."

    We can expect Bush to continue to exploit 9/11 to strip us of more of our liberties. Our constitutional right to dissent is in serious jeopardy. Benjamin Franklin's prescient warning should give us pause: "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security."

    Marjorie Cohn, a professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, is president-elect of the National Lawyers Guild, and the U.S. representative to the executive committee of the American Association of Jurists. Her new book, Cowboy Republic: Six Ways the Bush Gang Has Defied the Law, will be published in 2007 by PoliPointPress.

    I guess everyone, regardless of how ill informed, has a right to their opinion. If you care to make an intelligent discussion regarding the bill recently signed in to law, go and read what it REALLY says.

    But, then again, not too many people are really interested in the TRUTH these days, are they??? Just hate Bush, regardless of the "lies". OOPS!!! Did is say Lies??? Surely I must be mistaken....

    Do tell mtdavis what is the truth???
    The way I figure it you wouldn't know the truth if it jump up and hit you in the head. Go back read all the post concerning this subject. This stuff isn't made up, its facts, go do your research and quit complaining about the reality of TRUTH. Where we are going if the people in this country don't get off of the lazy asses is a "World War III" and "Police State" shackles that are being quietly fastened on the people of the United States and the world by the criminal Zionist-Talmudic crime syndicate. As you all know, the front men for this Criminal Syndicate at this time are Homeland Security Czar Chertoff,
    President W. Bush, and Vice-President Dickless Cheney. Right now this Country is in a fight for its life to return control of the USA to everyday americans. One Day people like you are going wonder what happen to America, so remember its because you thought it couldn't happen here and you thought everything was a LIE.

    You can post all the videos and crazy stuff all you want to. But, one fact STILL remains that's caused a lot of the problems we still have; LESS THAN 25% OF REGISTERED VOTERS ACTUALLY VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    'Nuff Said!

    A few points I found quite interesting:
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    “Reports continue to come into WMR that evacuees from New Orleans and Acadiana [the traditional twenty-two parish Cajun homeland] who have been scattered across the United States are being treated as ‘internees’ and not dislocated American citizens from a catastrophe"

    One of these so-called "prison camps" set up by FEMA is less than 3 miles down the road from where I live; Baker, Louisiana. Many staying there are very thankful for what they have there, are pressing on to make lives for themselves, the community at large has embraced them and are helping in any way we can. Yes, there are some trouble makers there but, most of them have been evacuated or sent to jail.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "This is why FEMA could not respond immediately to the Hurricane Katrina disaster ~ humanitarian efforts were no longer part of its job description under the Department of Homeland Security."

    It is now completely documented, the reason FEMA did not respond as quickly as it could have is because the Administration in Louisiana first said "NO" to them coming in. It wasn't until a plea from President Bush and a Representative here in Louisiana that the Gov in Louisiana FINALLY said yes and allowed FEMA to come in. Again I say, this is DOCUMENTED!!
    But, then again, as I said, who cares for the "truth".

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "The plan is called REX 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984. Through Rex-84 an undisclosed number of concentration camps were set in operation throughout the United States, for internment of dissidents and others potentially harmful to the state."

    Of course, no one would ever consider the fact that "illigal immagrants" could ever fall into this catagory? How many? 12 million? Nahhhh! Bush only set up these camps to imprison us citizens, right?

    "The way I figure it you wouldn't know the truth if it jump(ed) up and hit you in the head."

    Unfortunately, I do see - and know- the truth! Certain "groups" consider themselves superior, no matter what. The "truth" hits me, and others, right square in the face every day!

    Has there been another attack on this nation since 9/11/01? Oh, besides the so-called "attacks" you say from Bush and his allies...

    Where is the economy and umemployment figures right now? Oh wait, how stupid of me! Bush is "making" up these numbers to make it look good for him and his bunch to be re-elected, right?

    The Troops in Iraq, what you call an "illigal" war, has made gains like you wouldn't believe. How do I know this? I have friends there and they tell me the TRUTH! about what's going on there.

    The TRUTH - an interesting term. Some see it as what it is, the truth. Some see it as an excuse to further their "conspiracy theories", and some just don't care.

    Personally, there is one TRUTH that remains regardless of what you or I say; simply put? GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL!! Not some President, not some "elitist" bent on taking over the world. That, in itself, is the TRUE answer that will, one day soon, prove itself regardless of the direction we take.

    mtdavis, if you believe in God then you must believe what the Bible says about the end times so you know where we are headed. You must then agree with everthing that is going on in the World today is just about word for word out of the Bible. With that said I don't understand what issues you have with this post. Satan is alive and well and has control over everyone in our Government. I'm sure you'll agree its going to get a lot worse.
