I've been trying to make the same point. The repubs are going to come after Democrats for opposing this legislation. If we give reasons for opposing that we can't clearly and succinctly prove to be the case, we will lose. We need to thouroughly think through the arguments and focus on the one that is most important -- that this law violates time honored principles of separations of powers and due process, deviates from international norms regarding treatment of prisoners, and ultimately endangers our own troops and leaves us more vulnerable rather than safer
