    They only hold up bills that have the potential for real positive change for Americans.

    the only rights you have are the ones you stand up for – wake up!

    And what will We The People do if we’re picked up by a black van and jailed? “Excuse me I’d like my lawyer and speedy trail! ….Hello?”
    PASS IT ALREADY!! IT DOES NO HARM, AND DOES EVERYTHING TO PROTECT PEOPLE!!

    So, if I am reading this right, this bill will afford all of our legal rights to everybody no matter who they are, where they are, or what they have been accused of. Would this include Benladen? Personally I would much rather be held in a U.S. military prison, than one in Iran.

    Non US citizens have never and should never get any Constitutional rights.

    In Nazi Germany non-Germans got no rights. Same in Stalin Russia.
