Strongly agree

Yes, just like U.S. citizens, terrorists should be given a fair trial in federal courts

Shapiro would likely agree with the principle that all individuals, regardless of citizenship, deserve a fair trial. This aligns with Democratic criticism of military tribunals and support for federal court trials for terrorism suspects, as seen during the Obama administration.

Agree

Yes

Josh Shapiro, as a Democrat and former Attorney General of Pennsylvania, has generally supported due process and constitutional protections, even for those accused of serious crimes. While he may not advocate for full constitutional rights for all foreign terrorism suspects, he is likely to support some level of legal protection and fair treatment, consistent with Democratic Party positions post-9/11.

Agree

Yes, give them a fair trial and shut down Guantanamo Bay

Shapiro has not made shutting down Guantanamo Bay a central issue, but as a mainstream Democrat, he would likely support closing it and ensuring fair trials, consistent with the Obama administration's efforts and Democratic Party platforms.

Slightly agree

No, they should be tried in military tribunals but not subject to torture

While Shapiro might accept military tribunals in some cases, he would insist on humane treatment and oppose torture. However, he would likely prefer federal courts, so his agreement with this answer would be mild.

Strongly disagree

No

Shapiro is unlikely to support a blanket denial of constitutional rights to foreign terrorism suspects, as this position is more aligned with hardline conservative views. Democrats, including Shapiro, have often criticized policies that deny due process, such as indefinite detention at Guantanamo Bay.

Strongly disagree

No, they are not U.S. citizens and do not have constitutional rights

Shapiro would strongly disagree with the idea that non-citizens have no constitutional rights, as Supreme Court precedent (e.g., Boumediene v. Bush) and Democratic values support some constitutional protections for all people under U.S. jurisdiction.
