During his show last night, Mark Levin said that John McCain “cherry-picks†while attempting to say that he is much like Ronald Reagan on issues. Perhaps the most telling example of this is Senator McCain’s willingness to provide due process rights to terrorists. President Reagan was vehemently against providing them protection under the Geneva Conventions, as was made clear in his 1987 letter to the Senate, when John McCain was in his first term there:
If terrorists were provided Constitutional rights and lawful combatant protections, they would actually have more rights than a United States citizen here in American courts and greater protections than our troops if captured during war by a nation that signed or recognizes the Geneva Conventions. In addition, it would place at greater danger the civilian populaces where terrorists hide.
Senator McCain ignores those facts and offering his personal experience as a POW as his primary motivation for affording terrorists said rights clearly demonstrates his poor judgment on this issue.

Yes indeed. Should such an event become law it addresses what the Constitution does not directly speak about so it would insure rights based upon that which is not clearly constitutionally stated. Actually it is to normal people. What is constitutionally addressed under habeas corpus and then again in the 5th Amendment is the clear language to deny such rights to Americans. You would think that if the language reads the way it does the Supreme morons would understand that Americans, a free people, were intended to have more, and not less, rights than any non-citizen let alone an enemy. Don’t bet on it. By virtue of legislation we prove we are guilty self-haters and the Supreme Court, under liberals, is out to prove it.
These should be required reading for all:

It’s a long read, but very well worth it.
