First of all, my colleague says that we already have laws against the military unlawfully engaging in the enforcement of domestic policy. We only have laws against certain branches of the military doing that. This bill would expand that to any branch of the military. So, this is not covered by existing law. I am rather struck by the argument I hear against this amendment that if the military engages in unlawful activity, it appears they are okay with using that unlawfully obtained evidence in a court of law. That wouldn't be allowed in any criminal proceeding if law enforcement obtained evidence unlawfully. It shouldn't be allowed if the military obtains evidence unlawfully. {time} 0110
