• On January 26, 2011, by MayorofAngryTown - Before we make assumptions I think it's important to find out the qualifications however ambiguous the may be for a "suspected" terrorist. Instead of being reactive and assuming the AG will take everyones weapons at is whim, I would hope it's fair to say that history has shown Due process is subverted only when a viable enough threat is determined. Unfortunately it is a slippery slope but I am willing to bet if you attract the attention of the AG probable cause, or more, exists.

• On January 26, 2011, by bfayer - This bill would allow an appointed executive branch official to bypass the due process clause by simply declaring a citizen a "suspected" terrorist. It would allow for the unilateral denial of a constitutional right based on the opinion of an appointed official. Do we really want appointed officials deciding who gets to exercise which rights?
