1/30/10 Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) Delivers Weekly GOP Address On National Security Policy

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee discusses the Obama administration's failures in dealing with the Christmas Day bomber.

Sen. Collins expresses her incredulity that the bomber was interrogated for only 50 minutes before getting his Miranda rights.

Sen. Collins says, "The Obama administration appears to have a blind spot when it comes to the War on Terrorism. . . . Theres no other way to explain the irresponsible, indeed dangerous, decision on Abdulmutallab's interrogation. There's no other way to explain the inconceivable treatment of him as if he were a common criminal. This charade must stop. Foreign terrorists are enemy combatants and they must be treated as such. The safety of the American people depends on it."

There is no way in hell that this person is one of 100 U.S. senators in Congress. I refuse to believe it. Democrat or Republican does not matter; this person is unfit to run the late shift at Burger King.

14th Amendmend: ...nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Person! It says person. The constitution makes a distinction between people and citizens. In this case our constitution blatantly says that he is covered. The supreme court agrees with their 1886 ruling of Wo v. Hopkins.

2:58 Bullshit - you don't know your own constitution

The first retarded senator in the United States of America. What an honor that must be.

[journeyintoreality]

She won't last one term without Snowe there to guide her.

[vdarte]

Why doesn’t this blithering old bat join Snowe and drag her saggy ass back to whatever cave she crawled out of.

[KrazyK923]

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, good bye.

The Dems will enjoy your seat!

[BikerBry]

No doubt! As outraged as I am about the evil plots of foreign terror suspects, I hate the US government circumventing the Constitution of the US. It is the law we live by and it needs to be upheld, otherwise, we lose the power of the people and live under a dictatorship. Government serves "We the People"... not the other way around.

As long as the nuke goes off in a predominantly liberal area (perhaps NYC or somewhere in CA) then I say let the terrorists in. After that they'll revoke that load of shit about person to citizen.

[Gitano1776]

The day terrorist light of a nuke in your neighborhood we will see how accommodating the liberals will be then! You laugh now because it seems implausible. Yeah and so was 9/11. You idiots, the borders are wide open and our open shoreline runs for thousands of miles. Who is to say that nations such Korea, China or Russia would not collaborate with Iran and send a submarine to our shores and pack in a small nuke then take out Manhattan! For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom...

[willyD200]

Agreed and I come from her state!

She now wants to pass the "Kill Bill" meaning ....this Government can instantly shut off all internet access if they deem it prudent !

She needs to be voted out of office...she's become another political cancer !

[PL585]

Lmao - She had me laughing all through out. some one should make a spoof
