So the issue is pretty simple. Our courts at the highest level--the Supreme Court has acknowledged that the executive branch has the legal authority to hold an American citizen who is collaborating with an enemy as an enemy belligerent to gather intelligence to protect the rest of us; they recognize that power of the executive. Does the Senator agree with me that the amendment of Senator Feinstein would be a situation where the Congress does not recognize that authority and would actually try to change it?
