Where in the Military Commissions Act of 2006 does it say anything about U.S. citizens loosing their right to?

Question

habeas corpus?

Answer 1

Actually it does, bothe HR 6166 EH and the Senate version.

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.

So the plain language answer to your question is, yes. The way it applies to U.S.citizens is that the executive office can classify you as a terrorist with just the wave of a hand. Judicial review of the bill is prohibited, in theory.

Since the bill is a defacto amendment of the Constitution, it cannot stand.

Answer 2

It's the Patriot Act that has taken Habeas Corpus away. It was part of a much larger plan. Happy Days Are Here Again

Answer 3

No. Only "aliens" lose their right to habeas corpus.

Answer 4

When they become an enemy in a war....even during WWII spys that were Americans were subject to military justice.
Just because they are American does not give them any special rights.....they abandoned those rights when they fought or conspire to attack the U.S. under the name of any enemy.
