- 2. Senator Graham was doing more than asking Judge Kavanaugh legal questions. Senator Graham was communicating to the public about the probable future of a number of government criminals and how US laws actually work.
- 3. Senator Lindsay Graham seems to reveal forthcoming legal actions when he inquired about criminal law vs military law to Judge Kavanaugh at the Congressional Confirmation Hearing.
- 4. These questions begin with Senator Graham asking Judge Kavanaugh, "Where were you on September 11, 2001?" After Kavanaugh provides his descriptive answer, Senator Graham begins...
- 5. Graham: "So, when somebody says, post-9/11, that we've been at war, and it's called "The War on Terrorism", do you generally agree with that concept?"
- 6. Kavanaugh: "I do, Senator, because Congress passed the authorization for use of military force, which is still in effect, and that was passed, of course, on September 14, 2001, 3 days later."
- 7. Graham: "Let's talk about the law and war. Is there a body of law called The Law of Armed Conflict? Kavanaugh: "There is such a body, Senator."
- 8. Graham: "Is there a body of law that's called basic Criminal Law?" Kavanaugh: "Yes, Senator." Graham: "Are there differences between those two bodies of law?" Kavanaugh: "Yes, Senator."
- 9. Graham: "From an American citizen's point of view, do your Constitutional rights follow you? If you're in Paris, does the Fourth Amendment protect you, as an American, from your own government? " Kavanaugh: "From your own government, yes."
- 10. Graham: "Okay. So, if you're in Afghanistan, do your, uh, Constitutional rights protect you against your own government?" Kavanaugh: "If you're an American in Afghanistan, you have Constitutional rights as against the U.S. government....That's the, that's long-settled law."
- 11. Graham: "Isn't there long-settled law that goes back to Eisenstraider case? I can't remember the name of it." Kavanaugh: "Johnson versus Eisentrager."
- 12. Graham: " That American citizens who collaborate with the enemy have been considered enemy combatants." Kavanaugh: "They can be." Graham: "They can be?"
- 13. Kavanaugh: "They can be. They're sometimes criminally prosecuted, they're sometimes treated in the military system." Graham: "Well, let's talk about 'can be'. I think the ..." Kavanaugh: "Under the Supreme Court precedent, right."
- 14. Graham: "There's a Supreme Court decision that said that American citizens who collaborated with Nazi sabateurs were tried by the military. Is that correct?" Kavanaugh: "That is correct." Graham: "I think a couple of them were executed." Kavanaugh: "Yeah."
- 15. Graham: "So, if anybody doubts, there's a long-standing history in this country that your Constitutional rights follow you wherever you go, but you don't have a Constitutional right to turn on your own government and collaborate with the enemy of the Nation...."
- 16. Graham con't: "...You'll be treated differently. What's the name of the case, if you can recall, that reaffirmed the concept that you could hold one-of-our-own as an enemy combatant if they were engaged in terrorist activities in Afghanistan? Are you remember that case?"
- 17. Kavanaugh: "Yeah. Hamdi." Graham: "Okay. So the bottom line is every American citizen you have Constitutional rights but you do not have a Constitutional right to collaborate with the enemy..."
- 18. Graham con't: "...There is a body of law, well-developed, long before 9/11, that understood the difference between basic criminal law and The Law of Armed Conflict. Do you understand those differences?"
- 19. Kavanaugh: "I do. I do understand ...they're different bodies of law, of course, Senator." Source: CBS News YouTube channel: "Watch Live: Brett Kavanaugh's second confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee" beginning at 2:36:00
- 20. Senator Graham and Judge Kavanaugh referenced "Hamdi", a legal case known as Hamdi v. Rumsfeld. This was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court recognized the power of the U.S. government to detain enemy combatants, including U.S. citizens. Settled law.
- 21. An enemy combatant is someone who has collaborated with the enemy. In doing so, the enemy combatant has committed treason against the United States. As we know, the U.S. has enemies. Do we know our enemies?
- 22. We know of the enemies on foreign soil. We know of the countries we consider to be our enemies. But what if there are enemies who walk among us, on US soil? AMERICAN enemies...
- 23. What if there are American enemies positioned within our government systems, intentionally there to destroy our Nation, our Founding documents, our culture, our belief system?
- 24. Who among us has proven to be an enemy of America? This is an important question because even President Trump seems to be communicating his concerns about enemies to America now.

Senator Graham's line of questioning took an interesting turn. It was VERY unusual
