So when did Congress declare war? In each precedent, the US was at war. We have not declared war on anyone which is also why Silverstein can collect his $billion on WTC insurance.
Remember, these are the same people who wanted to bomb China over a Navy spy plane. It gets rather scary that they make decisions based upon people's fears rather than facts. Last time a White House administration use fear to get what the people did not want: Gulf of Tonkin - which we now know to be a total lie and which another President sued in the Supreme Court to keep us from learning that truth.
What is wrong with civilian courts that they cannot be 'trusted' to do justice? Or is it that civilian courts might first require proof? OK, I was surprised at the expression "Homeland Security" which is used in governments that aspire to military dictatorship. However to declare military justice when we are not at war? These are right wing extremists in power. Maybe we just forgot how extremist their thinking really is? The only government that works is a dicatorship dominated by right wing extremists?
