Heaven help those who are not ‘persons’

I was catching up on listening to some No Agenda podcasts while I was walking the dog, and heard some interesting revelations during the December 24th episode (#159).  It turns out that the Obama administration has kept going with some reprehensible legislation started by the Bush administration.

I’ll summarize (correct me if I’m wrong) but if anyone is determined to be an ‘enemy combatant’ by the government (military?) they are then stripped of all rights and privileges that would be afforded to a ‘person’ as mentioned in the Constitution.   A scary bit of legislation.

More of the details can be found in these stories:
