S3930 - Detainee bill

The Constitution doesn't give rights to US citizens; it restricts the authority of the US government. The only thing that gives them wiggle room on Guantanimo is that they're pretending that Guantanimo isn't under US jurisdiction.

The only thing giving them wiggle room is that the detainees are NOT US citizens.
