(5,272 posts)specific vote that you have a grievance with, please point it out so i can go right there and research it in reference to Sanders. What's the bill or amendment and I'll look it up?
I'm not sure why you assume that the presence of such a prison on US soil would automatically imply what you think it would. Do you know how we maintain supposed illegal immigrants on US soil currently? I'm pretty sure that shit isn't constitutional either but it persists. Money has a way of letting all kinds of unconstitutional shit(or what should be interpreted as unconstitutional shit) slide.
Again though, you cannot dismiss those "specious" editorials without also calling the ACLU's problems with the bill specious, and I hope very much that we both have a lot of respect for the work the ACLU does.
I will say, of course the GOP had entirely different reasons for impeding such an action, and of course some of that is related to the bullshit fear-mongering about housing potential terrorists on US soil, which is pretty fucking embarrassing justification, but whatever. But I think its pretty obvious that the reason liberals in particular didn't fall in behind these proposals, is due entirely different reasoning.
