re: #257 sandbox

Why extend “rule of law” provisions to enemy combatants? BTW this is quite unpopular with the US public. They don’t want enemy combatants to get civilian trials. The public is right.

It is regrettable that in the US, many believe that public opinion should have any bearing on the rule of law. To be quite honest, the US Judicial system is absurdly political and results in nothing more than Justice by Majority rule. The public is often dead wrong when it comes to proper application of legal principles.
