Obama Administration Proposes Rolling Back Fifth and Sixth Amendments for Suspects

comments from Newsbuster . . . . (This is the same group of people that helped get us trillions and trillions of dollars into debt and for the most part don't even follow the constitution. Why would any one in their right mind want to give people like that the power to kidnap, detain and torture (mere suspects) Americans? Passing the Military Commissions Act and Patriot Act was never a good idea in the first place, as the only thing that keeps you free and safe from an out of control, tyrannical government, is the Constitution.)

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706–90)

President Obama’s legal advisers are considering asking Congress to allow the government to detain terrorism suspects longer after their arrests before presenting them to a judge for an initial hearing, according to administration officials familiar with the discussions.

If approved, the idea to delay hearings would be attached to broader legislation to allow interrogators to withhold Miranda warnings from terrorism suspects for lengthy periods, as Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. proposed last week.

The goal of both measures would be to open a window of time after an arrest in which interrogators could question a terrorism suspect without an interruption that might cause the prisoner to stop talking. It is not clear how long of a delay the administration is considering seeking.

The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the proposal is still being developed, cautioned that it was not clear what the final proposal would include. Several aides to leading Democratic members of Congress said the administration had not approached their offices for detailed discussions of the matter, and the administration declined to comment on the internal deliberations.
