U.S. Constitutional rights apply to everyone on our soil.
Well I wouldn't defer to this expert. His opinion regarding due process, for example, didn't seem to be shared by any of the Supreme Court Justices who decided Hamdi a year later.Welcome to amateur hour, where we all get to present our ill-informed opinions on an issue that requires considerable expertise.

Every citizen, not every person. A non-citizen can't purchase, own, nor carry a gun.

I'm betting the 2nd Amendment is the exception. In fact, the Second Amendment says NOTHING about citizens only. Having to apply the Constitution to noncitizens is why many so oppose bringing Gitmo prisoners to the United States.

No, liberals think the constitution restricts the government.
There's nothing in the first amendment that makes an exception for foreigners.
Perhaps a more interesting question would be:
Should the Constitution apply to non-citizens within US territory?
After all, foreigners in many other countries have essentially no rights as compared to the nation's citizens.
