Sen. Lindsey Graham Says We Should Deny Bombing Suspect’s Constitutional Rights
It’s amazing how conservatives’ loud reverence for the US Constitution goes right out the window when they get a hankering to torture somebody. From South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham today on Twitter:
If captured, I hope Administration will at least consider holding the Boston suspect as enemy combatant for intelligence gathering purposes.

The last thing we may want to do is read Boston suspect Miranda Rights telling him to “remain silent.”

This guy is no random Twitter troll — he’s an elected official, seriously suggesting that a US citizen should be stripped of his constitutional rights. Unreal.
For all that right wing Constitutionism, they seem to have very little faith in it when the rubber hits the road.
