You all, including Mr. May, missed the subtlety of the point that due process has NOT been suspended in the case of these detainees. They HAVE representation, and I don't THINK the Bill of Rights says anywhere that you get to see Mommy if you're arrested, but that you can obtain representation, you are not required to incriminate yourself, and so forth. In theory. I just can't bring myself to whine about the detained under the circumstances, when I know of second-graders who are buried under a literal megaton of rubble. Should "civil liberties be suspended?" No. Should suspects be treated like kindergardners? Fuck no.
Do you seriously think that justifies suspension of due process? If you don't, why did you bring it up? That aside, I think it's been sufficiently demonstrated that you shouldn't treat people like collateral damage unless you wish to receive similar consideration...
The Constitution applies at _all_ times. It is not something that is only for nice, calm situations.
The Bill of Rights does not say that the various parts of the Bill of Rights are suspendable when someone decides there is some reason to. This means the USA Bill, with its suspension of big chunks of the Fourth Amendment, is ipso facto unconstitutional.
