Title: Sen. John McCain wants to allow U.S. citizens to be arrested, held indefinitely

Last week, John McCain introduced a bill into the U.S. Senate which, if passed, would actually allow U.S. citizens to be arrested and detained indefinitely, all without Miranda rights or ever being charged with a crime.
The stated purpose of S. 3081 (The Enemy Belligerent Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act) reads: “To provide for the interrogation and detention of enemy belligerents who commit hostile acts against the United States, to establish certain limitations on the prosecution of such belligerents for such acts, and for
other purposes.”
The bill has nine co-sponsors including Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA).
Section 5 of S. 3081 states:
“An individual, including a citizen of the United
States, determined to be an unprivileged enemy belligerent
under section 3(c)(2) in a manner which satisfies Article
5 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of
Prisoners of War may be detained without criminal
charges and without trial for the duration of hostilities
against the United States or its coalition partners in which
the individual has engaged, or which the individual has
purposely and materially supported, consistent with the
law of war and any authorization for the use of military
force provided by Congress pertaining to such hostilities.”
This bill, introduced by McCain, who despite overwhelming evidence, claims to be a “conservative,” would not only take away our right to a trial, but would also allow the federal government to arrest and imprison anyone the current administration deems hostile.
Of course, that would be the same administration whose Homeland Security Secretary has classified veterans, retired law enforcement, Ron Paul supporters, and conservatives as “terrorists.”
If it was not clear before, it should be now that John McCain has as little respect for the Constitution as he does for our borders.

Scott Brown, the great hope of the Republicans, is comfortably ensconced in the Senate for another six years. Joe Liberman is safe for another two years, although "liberals" are now eager to get him out of office as conservatives are. John McCain, a.k.a. Songbird McCain and Wet-start McCain is up for reelection this year. I'm eager to see the good citizens of Arizona sweep him out of Congress with the rest of the rats.
Guess what I just found out this morning? Obama and McStain are 22nd cousins and from the royal line of Edward the first OF GREAT BRITIAN. If you read my post all the way through about the British and the royal elite, you will see why they want their hand selected people in office globally.
The only factor not in place back in 1300's is the Rothschilds, who got introduced into the royal line back during edward II under Victoria.
