"What we're saying is, let's use the Constitution appropriately and not abrogate it under the guise of fighting terrorism," Benanav said. The Left is quick to cite the Constitution when it fits their purposes; but all the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee effectively subvert the Constitution by denying Bush his Constitutional right and obligation to make appointments, and suddenly we're not strict constructionists anymore. Which are we going to do? Follow the Constitution to the letter, or not?

Ted RE..She and her family were incarcerated for 9 months. The charges against them were vague. You say the charges were vague, prove it. The agency who made the charge probably had a specific lead called in, and the FBI, right after 9/11 couldn't get to investigating her case right away. A lot of people are held under suspicion, a lot of times under minor charges until, the major charges can be proved, or unproved. For instance, a guy wanted for murder, might be held under gun possession charges until the police can get DNA evidence etc. for the murder. The only difference is that under the Patriot act, because of national security, the gov. doesn't have to supply a specific list of charges, because doing so could jeopardize their sources. Is 9 months too long to hold someone without specific charges? I don't know. Normally yes, but I have no idea how many leads the FBI had to investigate, before they could get to her. My bet you don't either. Link please. No link, she was in a video I saw yesterday. He now has two kids, a wife and a good job. They arrested him under the Patriot Act and were trying to deport him. So.... Are you trying to say it is impossible for a guy, with a wife and two kids, and a job; to commit acts against the US. I have no idea if the charges were correct or not; neither do you, I bet. Link please. He was on NBC News last nite. I only reported the facts as I heard them. You can get a tape of the show and hear it for yourself. nbc.com Shame on you for believing your gov't can do no wrong. That's not the role of a citizen in a democracy.........to be a cheerleader. The American gov't has abused the rights and privileges of its citizens at various times in its history. And we have all paid for it......in spades. I would not be surprised that's its happening now. Too many Americans are peeing in their collective pants over 9/11, and Bush and his cronies are fueling that fear. However, if you plan on playing the Nat. Review, FOX News, conservative game of calling everyone who disagrees with you and your gov't a traitor, then save it for your friends in WI.
