Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

In reference to the Iraqi and/or Afghinastan Wars, has there been any acts by Congress, any of it Members or any other government employee that can be legally defined or claimed to be: an act of "giving aid or comfort to the enemies thereof"?
lol!


Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

My question is: ....... Is not the paying or funding of any portion of a Defendent's Legal Fees, Court Costs, etc., by the United States government or a State government that was incurred by any State and/or Civilian Court in the prosecution of any foreign terrorist or enemy combatant, ..... be in effect, .... "an act of aiding someone who participated in an insurrection or rebellion against the United States"?

Given said, is it not therefore unconstitutional to be prosecuting a foreign terrorist or enemy combatant in a US civilian Court?


Curious minds want to know. lol!
