ATTACHMENT B - Public Comments Received If you can't get a speedy trial, that's your problem to deal with. Don't ignore our constitution to work around a fiscal issue. Otherwise, anarchy and Machiavellian-ism is not rampant just within the criminal community but in law enforcement as well. Why don't we solve the problems that are causing us to even want this law: speedier trials, more adequate jail space. Those are not reasons to abridge our constitution. Again, direct me to any web postings that show how this gives full due process to those it has been or could be applied to. Absent that, you should have no choice but to terminate until you find a law that does. I believe you never should have "tried it". It seems clear you know it doesn't meet due process and yet you did it anyway. That itself really concerns me. It bothers me that folk I know are out to do us good are doing this in such a way that it doesn't support our constitution. I don't like being put in the position where I have to oppose the good folk with good hearts trying to do good for us. Please, come up with something better and end this policy until you have one that meets due process. The sooner you do this, the better.IF you do this, you set a precedent that when bad laws are established, they can be repealed. If you do not do this, then you establish a policy that bad laws can be "tried out" and "continued" indefinitely. Hence, your own version of detainees in Guantanamo: no due process. Same problem, different location. It seems that way to me. Downtown Exclusion Zone: Excluding Due Process from Downtown. Those are some of the many thoughts and concerns that come to my mind.
