The people letting this happen are relying on a corrupt, incompetent administration to "do the right thing" with the powers granted them by this law.

Round up all the brown folks on the premise that they have been designated as "enemy combatants." Since they won't have the right of habeas corpus, no judge will have an opportunity to hear, much less consider, their denials. They'll sit in some military prison, incommunicado, while the Resident of the United States trumpets their incarceration as a great victory in the War on Terra. We'll just have to take his word for it, I suppose, because he's never wrong. The sheeple, grateful for having been spared from unspeakable horror, troop to the polls and install an even greater Republican majority, who will dutifully suspend the '08 presidential election on grounds of "national security."<BR/><BR/>And there you have it.
