[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [QUOTE] The U.S. Constitution makes no provision for its own suspension during emergencies [/QUOTE] The Constitution says that the President can suspend habeas corpus. Other powers and restrictions are defined under the National Emergencies Act and other Acts. One is forced to wonder just what CONSTITUTIONAL rights these folks feel are being violated. If you're going to claim something on those grounds, better be able to back it up. Freedom from ethnic slurs isn't in there... though Freedom of speech IS. Still, it was Franklin who said that "A people who are willing to sacrifice essential Liberty for a measure of Security, deserve neither Liberty nor Security." But to get back on topic, I no more expect a ICBM shield to prevent standard terrorist attacks than I wopuld expect my dog to fly... they're just not designed for it. Still, If I want a pet that flies, I get a bird, and if I want a pet that will bring my slippers, I get a dog. Somebody here said that a missile defense was unnecessary because no rogue nut would launch a missile at the US because that would be 'suicide.' Guess what? So's piloting a jetliner into a building. Nutballs don't CARE, or they think God'll protect them, or they'll all go straight to paradise for it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
