The Senate reverses itself and opens the courts to al Qaeda.
Andrew McCarthy writes about our imperial house of lords and their continuing disconnect from reality and the American people. For the Senate has decreed that courts now get to decide who is an enemy combatant, even though American law has always held that this is the rightful purview of the military. Imagine an ACLU lawyer going along on combat missions to tell you who you can, and who you cannot shoot and you get the idea. And it won't stop there either. If this is not reversed then terrorists who are not US citizens and who are at war with us and civilization will have all the legal protections in the civilian courts that Americans enjoy. Apparently the US Senate is not smart enough to realize that these are the same courts that Al Qaeda considers illegitimate in any case and wishes to destroy along with the rest of western civilization.
It's ideas like this that get people killed.
