Hannity parrots this same line of tricksy logic. Here is the approximation of the argument I heard him give to a caller:
caller: Why do insist that people we hold in detention should not be given a regular trial?
Hannity: Because they are terrorists and they do not deserve rights!
caller: Well that goes against The Constitution because the 5th amendment states that "no person shall be denied..."
Hannity (interrupts): Whoa Whoa Whoa, I know where your taking this liberal argument, so since you know so much about the Constitution, how does it start?
caller: It says "We the people..."
Hannity (interrupts): There's your answer.
caller: huh?
Hannity: It says "we the people", what people you ask? The AMERICAN PEOPLE! IT'S ONLY FOR AMERICANS NOW GET OFF THE PHONE YOU BIG LIBERAL!
