The Most Conservative GOP Senate Members Agree with Ron Paul on Indefinite Detention

Explains Townhall’s Mike Shedlock:

Any Senator voting on a bill that would allow US citizens to be arrested, detained indefinitely, even sent to Cuba without being formally charged with any crime is no friend or supporter to the US constitution…

Indeed, all 86 Senators who voted for that bill are cowards, hypocrites, and no friend to the United States or the US Constitution.

13 Courageous Votes

Nay ID Crapo, Michael [R]
 Nay ID Risch, James [R]
 Nay IL Durbin, Richard [D]
 Nay IA Harkin, Thomas [D]
 Nay KY Paul, Rand [R]
 Nay MD Cardin, Benjamin [D]
 Nay MN Franken, Al [D]
 Nay OK Coburn, Thomas [R]
 Nay OR Merkley, Jeff [D]
 Nay OR Wyden, Ron [D]
 Nay SC DeMint, Jim [R]
 Nay UT Lee, Mike [R]
 Nay VT Sanders, Bernard [I]

There you have it. Anyone not on that list voted to trash the constitution. I am particularly pleased by the votes of Senators Jim DeMint, Thomas Coburn, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Michael Crapo, and James Risch.

Those are the only six Republicans willing to stand behind the Constitution.
