"...the military courts, as their proponents point out, are meant to try non-citizens - and that distinction seems to earn them support among many Americans. In an interview with Bradley, U.S. Rep. J. D. Hayworth (R-AZ) offered this explanation: "The Constitution is not a suicide pact. The American people don't want to see the United States Constitution... used as an instrument of destruction by enemies of our nation who are not citizens of our nation." I think that's the essential point..."what ifs" not withstanding. I think Leahy's argument is pretty weak, because there's a wealth of other reciprocal factors and considerations at play that can always be brought to bear...from both sides.
