Taken into account with the broader definition of Section 501 of the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003 or Patriot Act II, any violation of Federal or State law can result in the "enemy combatant" terrorist designation which means that regardless of being an American citizen if designated as an 'enemy combatant,' one can be denied habeas corpus, held indefinitely, tortured, convicted, and even sentenced to death based on traditionally non-admissible hearsay or coerced testimony, and possibly summarily executed with secret state evidence which never has to be released to public scrutiny. "The establishment of the writ of habeas corpus ... are perhaps greater securities to liberty and republicanism than any it [the Constitution] contains. ...[T]he practice of arbitrary imprisonments have been, in all ages, the favorite and most formidable instruments of tyranny. - Alexander Hamilton
So far I like this series VERY much! Honest and straight forward! To the point WITH a point!
A small problem in this one tho. "Fascism" as said here isn't about "to creep into our government" but has indeed existed with great strength and presence since the early 40's at least. America IS a fascist state 100% these days.
