Supporters of detention argue that the nation needs to be able to arrest and jail suspected terrorists without trial, including Americans on U.S. soil, for as long as there is a war on terror. Their argument won, and the measure was defeated by a vote of 200 to 226.

There will always be a war on terror.

Get the traitors out of office!

They wipe their butts with our Constitutional rights and protections.
