Civil Arrest

Why do the Republicans continue to insist on trying to destroy the foundations of our government?

Here's an article re: the new bill “The Enemy Belligerent Interrogation, Detention and Prosecution Act of 2010” being proposed by McCain and Lieberman, which if passed could allow the US military to detain suspected domestic terrorists - without habeas corpus - for interrogation....Which means if they want, they will have you sitting in jail for life and with no trial.

And who is to make the decision if you or I are an 'enemy belligerent'?....Who knows. And doesn't it state in the Declaration of Independence that it our 'duty to throw such a Government off as Despotism'.

So if I'm just a supporter of the Tea Partiers (which I'm not) I would be considered an enemy belligerent?

If anyone doesn't recall, here's a nice section from The United States Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,[71] that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
