:"Our Constitution is not self-enforcing. Only YOU can prevent Tyranny

[Bluerthanblue]

Guess Mr.Roberts doesn't agree with the notion of the "Federalists who wrote the Constitution- given his recent upholding of the military tribunals and the concept of 'enemy combatents'-

Something the Supreme Court, the Geneva Convention, AND the International Court all disagree with him on- not a great start-

A really informative site- with some pretty good food for thought and 'talking points' against Roberts stance on many issues-

"Contrary to the rhetoric fromthe Bush Administration, the Bill of Rights protects the rights of all people, not just U.S. citizens, and at all times

The authors of our Constitution were quite familiar with war and designed the Constitution to be legally binding in war time as well as peace, and upon all people--even Mr. Bush and Co.

The principle was reinforced by the Supreme Court in Ex Parte Milligan in 1866: "The guaranty of trial by jury contained in the Constitution was intended for a state of war, as well as a state of peace, and is equally binding upon rulers and people at all times and under all circumstances."
