THAT is the exception they are invoking, and I really don't think an unconcious or semi-concious person would qualify under that.
What the Obama administration wants is to look tough on terrorism. I understand that.
BUT a person isn't endowed with constitutional rights when someone reads them to a citizen. A person is endowed with those rights by BEING a citizen.
If they want to revoke his citizenship, there is a path for that. If they want to argue the person's actions speak to being an ENEMY of the state, that needs a determination by the CIC. Obama can do whatever the hell he wants under the Yoo woo that granted dictatorial powers to Dick Cheney and his sock puppet
