17. This sickens me to the core.
The constitution is very clear. All people have certain inalienable rights.

Not citizens.

People.

If we allow even one person to not have rights under the constitution, then nobody has rights under the constitution.

If you oppose them in this matter, then it will be found that you are materially aiding the enemy and you will be in the prison cell right next to the terrorists. Without trial.

Giving the power of indefinite detention to the President makes him king. It doesn't matter that the current king is benevolent. The one after that will make up for it.
