[GPSCC-chat] Civil liberties? What civil liberties?

[Wes Rolley]

The basis of my comments are these.

Renumbered... Section 1021 (e) reads...
(e) AUTHORITIES.---Nothing in this section
shall be construed to affect existing law or
authorities relating to the detention of
United States citizens, lawful resident aliens
of the United States, or any other persons
who are captured or arrested in the United
States.

Renumbered... Section 1022 (b) reads...
(b) APPLICABILITY TO UNITED STATES CITIZENS
AND LAWFUL RESIDENT ALIENS.---
(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS.---The requirement
to detain a person in military custody
under this section does not extend to citizens
of the United States.
(2) LAWFUL RESIDENT ALIENS.---The requirement
to detain a person in military custody
under this section does not extend to a lawful
resident alien of the United States on the
basis of conduct taking place within the
United States, except to the extent permitted
by the Constitution of the United
States.

-- and --
(2) COVERED PERSONS.---The requirement in
paragraph (1)*shall apply to any person
whose detention is authorized under section
1021* who is determined---

Greenwald fails to consider that American Citizens and Resident Aliens 
are exempted from the provisions of 1021 and chooses instead to quibble 
about the meaning of the term "requirement'... sort of like what/the 
meaning of "is" is.
