Good stuff E-Man; I'm glad you took the time to respond to this. Let me suggest that we sometimes provide a little drama in a post to ratchet up the interest but it seems you have my number on that and a good explanation it was. I had mean't to reply to the End and Means Quote but I see you are probably already prepared for that one so I will let it pass. The cite you offer I have read. First up we know that there are always situations that can be proposed that express the extreme possibilities inherent in any legislation. I mean that is the premise behind all legal fiction; novels that take law and stretch the possibilities to derive tension between the reality and the potentiality of abuse. Thats what fills the shelves with scary legal scenarios made into movies. But to get back to the McCain Bill. The author of the essay seems to indicate that the law extends all of the rights and protections granted American Citizens to anyone. Thats what we need to define; what exactly is the point of this bill. I agree with the bill without studying and pondering the wording because I trust Senator McCain to do the right thing. As a citizen and one who is not trained in the law; upon what basis would I have to form a legally valid opinion concerning the application of this bill to military justice statutes? So; I would attempt to find within the wording my own interpretation of the meaning. Would that be acceptable?
