In a three-page letter dated May 22, 2009, Senator Russell Feingold of Wisconsin politely but firmly drew lines in the sand with President Obama on the issues of military commissions and indefinite detention. Importantly, Feingold called indefinite detention "likely unconstitutional." Feingold, who Chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, also gave the Obama administration notice that his subcommittee will hold June hearings on these issues and asked the administration to "make a top official or officials from the Department of Justice available to testify." Feingold recognized that Obama's views are not fully formed on these issues but "it is important to begin this discussion immediately, before you reach a final decision."

Goed zo. En nu hou ik er over op. Overigens, dit is mijn duizendste blog.
