When the majority 50%+ of senators vote for something that basic and treasonous, you don't need a law degree to know that they are up to no good.

Right to a fair trial Main article: Right to a fair trial Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.[70]
Rights that cannot be derogated for reasons of national security in any circumstances are known as peremptory norms or jus cogens. Such United Nations Charter obligations are binding on all states and cannot be modified by treaty. Examples of national security being used to justify human rights violations include the Japanese American internment during World War II,[115] Stalin's Great Purge,[116] and the modern-day abuses of terror suspects rights by some countries, often in the name of the War on Terror.[117][118]
(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS- The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.

America is turning into a total disgrace at the hands of the very few in the government. The sad part? Nobody cares. If I was to go to work tomorrow and bring up this bill to try and educate the masses so we can avoid America imploding all i get is I'm an idiot and unpatriotic for not agreeing with every thing the government says.
Its amazing how the general population can tell you everything about Kim Kardashian but when it comes to important stuff that the government is trying to do secretly all I ever get is "huh?"
There does not appear to be a territorial limitation on this directive, so it probably also applies within the United States. Sec. 1032 (b)(1) specifically states that the requirement to take to detain a person in military custody doesn’t extend to U.S. citizens. So, it’s not required, but does that mean it’s still allowable? Is it now OK to detain an American citizen in the U.S. without the traditional protections of the Bill of Rights?
