Dianne Feinstein: “The idea that we could arrest and detain U.S. citizens and other persons living in the U.S. indefinitely without charge…”

On the recordFebruary 28, 2012
The idea that we could arrest and detain U.S. citizens and other persons living in the U.S. indefinitely without charge, without trial by jury, a jury of their peers, and without having to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt is, in my opinion, a denigration of the Bill of Rights.
