Did you not listen to Lindsey Graham talking to Brett Kavanqh about "Enemy Combatants" and if it could pertain to US citizens in wartime?
Kavanaugu said yes
Why would Graham bring that up?
Dunno. Probably the same reason he wanted the NYC terrorism suspect to be held as an enemy combatant in 2017?

and in 2016? https://www.nytimes.com/live/new-york-explosion/senator-graham/
and i Boston in 2013?

Probably the same reason he asked Sotomayor that question in 2009?

Under the law of armed conflict, do you agree with the following statement, that if a person is detained who is properly identified to accepted legal procedures under the law of armed conflict as a part of the enemy force, there is not requirement based on a length of time that they be returned to the battle or released? In other words, if you capture a member of the enemy force, is it your understanding of the law that you have to, at some period of time, let them go back to the fight?
and Kagan in 2010?

Drop 2380 discussed military law v civilian law then Enemy Combatant.
Who cares? Lindsay Graham always talks about enemy combatants. Did a purge happen in 2009 or 2010 or 2013? What about 2016 and 2017? No, it didn't and his asking again is no indication a purge will occur in 2018.
