re: #107 Killgore Trout
They aren’t American citizens. At the time they were not in the American court system and are thus not covered by Constitutional rights.
Neither are foreign tourists. Or holders of immigrant Visas. Are you saying we should treat these people outside of the Constitution whenever the need arises? So a police department can grab a tourist of the streets of NYC, torture them or whatever, and then tell them “tough shit you’re not a citizen?”
