S3930 - Detainee bill

Stormie, they aren't military tribunals...they're a thrid system of justice that is being spontaneously created. The entire bill is probably un-Constitutional, but there are definitely provisions therein that DEFINITELY are. For example, you can't retroactively pardon someone for violating the War Crimes Act. Nor can you suspend the Writ of Habeus Corpus, which this also tries to do.
