It’s exceptionally important to maintain existing legal standards, that already address an American citizen functioning with alien interests. That distinction is recognized in the charge of “treason”, which makes an American a foreign actor–instead of a citizen.
This is exceptionally important as it relates to the standing rights of average Americans. In domestic courts as well as military courts, each person is already entitled to a trial–that has never been legitimately revoked. Foreigners charged with attacking Americans, are maintained in courts designated for foreign actors.
Should a charge against an American be that they are alien or treasonous–they are charged in the domestic court unless they are affiliated with a foreign entity.
Should there be an inversion of the domestic legal standards (speedy trial vs indefinite detention w/o trial) it is the subversion of Constitutional law that takes the greatest loss.
That subversion is being presented in this Congressional effort.
The greater loss is extended to the American people, and not those who attack the USA. An error of judgment or special interest as dictated by an authority, is a potential for a great loss that cannot fairly be overcome through existing legal practices.http://news.yahoo.com/confrontation-brew…
