Okay, you get snatched and you can file a habeas petition. (check your AEDPA procedure). But how do you know if you, or your neighbor is an alien enemy? Where is the declaration of war?

To understand why Democrats are angry with Chuck Schumer's leadership, he voted for cloture. Cloture shuts off debate. It requires more than a majority. At a time when most Democrats want to scream, Chuck held one side of the duct tape.
