[QUOTE="Thebrownblob, post: 5278944, member: 60485"] Maybe not that far-fetched, detaining me with no due process isn’t all that different than putting me in a camp against my will, and constitutional rights. Clearly the “government” doesn’t believe in our rights, they believe they can sign a piece of paper and get rid of them at a moments notice.
