(2) um,exactly how do you determine who is and is not a traitor without a trial and conviction?
Exactly. "Come with us. We suspect you're a terrorist."
"What? I just run a liberal blog. I've always called for non-violent protest. I've never threatened anyone in my life. What is the charge based on?"
"I dunno. Someone just accused you of being a terrorist. Now get in that cell." *slam*
"Um, I get to have a trial to prove my innocence, right? ...right? ...Hello?"
Quote:(3)What the fuck gives the US the right to afford others less legal protection than its own citizens? (Australia does it too,with refugees,and it's shameful.)
Actually, our constitution protects all people of the world, citizen or otherwise. It specifies "no person shall be held without due process." "PERSON" not "citizen".
Of course, the constitution is just a piece of paper if no one will fight to protect it and enforce it.
