Let me say first that I didn't down vote you (I in fact up voted you even though I think your comment was missing the point).

That said your comment misses the point. The article's intention, as far as I can tell, is to point out just how far the Executive Branch has gone in denying U.S. citizens their rights (under both the current and previous administrations). So much so that the argument can easily be made for indefinitely detaining a very high profile White House adviser.

So the post's point was "People's rights are being suspended at the drop of a hat" and your response was "he has rights" which is nonsensical.
