Law enforcement for domestic protection and using military action to go after terrorists overseas don’t require amending the US constitution. I think you’re assuming that I think that the terrorists need to be treated differently. I think I’ve made it clear that terrorists captured overseas who aren’t US citizens should be tried in tribunals; US citizens captured overseas or terrorists captured on US soil should get federal court trials. None of that requires amending the US constitution - just a dose of common sense from the Administration that wants to make a muddled mess of tribunals and court proceedings with the KSM trial and closing Gitmo for no other reason than to fulfill a campaign promise to satisfy those on the Left even though there’s no alternative.
