does anyone care that congress passed HR 6166?

Question

This will allow the president to arrest, imprision, jail indefinately or execute american citizen, he deems an "enemy combatant". That could mean anyone they want, a protester, a person contibuting to a charity the government deems "supporive of terror". Not just Bush eithor, if a Dem gets in in 08 they will have the same power.

Answer 1

Hell yes we car about HR 6166 EH (and the Senate version which reads the same).

In plain language, since the bills are deliberately obfuscatory in language;
It does away with constitutional rights if the executive office decides that you are supporting terrorism in any way. That can include disagreeing with what the executive says.

It suspends the right to a speedy trial, the right to trial by a jury of your peers, and if they say they think you may have had some involvement with torture, it legalizes torture and overrides the torture bill of 2005.

Habeas Corpus is suspended, you do not have the right to face your accusers or to see the evidence against you, and in fact there need be no evidence. All this can be used against U.S. citizens if martial law is declared or in the absence of martial law. if you have been classed as aiding terrorism in any way. And that is the biggest danger in the bill, it gives the Executive Branch the apparent power to make you a "terrorist" with the wave of a hand and in the best tradition of totalitarianism, you just disappear.

The Geneva Convention, which applies to captured enemy military is overridden ex post facto to cover war crimes already committed and any that may be.

Though verbiage in the bills purports to demonstrate constitutionality, the bill is anti-constitutional and a good prelude to dictatorship.

The bill has clauses in the prohibit any court ever questioning any part of it. I don't see how they can hope to rewrite the constitution in this way, but they have. Every person who authored, voted for or signs this bill is a traitor to the U.S.

As somebody above (who obviously did not follow their own advice) read the entire bill.

Answer 2

the middle of the bill is there. newborn screening is serious for early detection and long term viability of babies born with inborn blunders in metabolism and different detectable genetic illnesses. So increasing this methodology is notably plenty a stable element. besides the undeniable fact that, i'd believe Dr. Paul in that any records won from software could be accrued anonymously and that the privateness rights and affected person records of any infant that comes up useful for a genetic sickness could be secure and would in no way be released w/o the parent's consent. sturdy question. the subject comes into play in that refusing the infant screening is equivalent to refusing lifesaving scientific look after your infant. if your infant happens to have a metabolic sickness that would desire to be picked up with a $5 genetic attempt which you refuse, your infant would desire to go through irreparable suggestions harm from that sickness or finally ends up death. and since the youngster can not settle for or deny treatment of its very own accord the state steps in. this is why i've got faith you won't be able to refuse the genetic assessments. i've got faith this in basic terms applies to the state/federal standards nonetheless. some hospitals run much extra matters and that i've got faith you probably can refuse those on the grounds that its on a wellbeing center by wellbeing center foundation. could you have the flexibility to maintain all semblance of privateness correct to the outcomes of those assessments? rather.

Answer 3

You're absolutely right. I honestly believe that this is the beginning of the New World Order fascist police state dictatorship. Things can only get worse, much, much worse.

Answer 4

Bush wants world domination and has THESE secret and evil plans for all who he deems will be anti-New World Order! His new torture laws are really meant for you and me! Our troops are overseas in order to leave the rest of us defenseless against martial law instituted by foreign troops already on U.S. soil. Bush is waiting for Americans to riot! ...

Answer 5

It's just a power play - there's no way the supreme court will let this through and everyone knows it.

So the republicans get to look good, even though no one expects it to get all the way to the end. And hopefully everyone will look the other way until November.

Government grandstanding.

Answer 6

Maybe if you read it you would see that any alien (non-citizen of the US) falls under the Military Tribunal law and not a citizen of the US. If you all would stop hyperventillating you would see this. All you have to do is look it up. I did.

Answer 7

Truly, well-informed Americans are concerned, however the jack-@$$ Republicans are, as usual, in denial.

Answer 8

I think things will start to get more balanced after the election

Answer 9

Has Bush signed it?
