Qoute of the Day

"The President cannot eliminate constitutional protections with the stroke of a pen by proclaiming a civilian, even a criminal civilian, an enemy combatant subject to indefinite military detention. Put simply, the Constitution does not allow the President to order the military to seize civilians residing within the United States and detain them indefinitely without criminal process, and this is so even if he calls them 'enemy combatants.' "
A three-judge panel of the conservative U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reminding Our Dear Embattled Leader that he is president and not a king.
