The power to detain American citizens indefinitely without charging them with a crime and having a trial is in direct conflict with Amendment #6 to the United States Constitution the Government is designed to protect.
"Amendment VI.
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed; which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance to council for his defence."
