Spence, I agree that this proposal might save lives. However, when I took high school covics, I must've missed the day when the teacher explained that the President has the authority to negate the Bill Of Rights, when the goal is to keep us safe. Spence, please tell me, where in the Constitution, it says the Bill Of Rights doesn't apply, when the President wants to keep us safe?
Obviously, you are OK with ignoring the constitution to keep us safe. That's what you just said. Using that logic, if Trump gets elected...you would be similarly comfortable if he detained all the US citizens on the no-fly list, and then waterboarded them, to find out what they know. If he did all that without affording them any due process...if he did all that to keep us safe, you'd be OK with that too? Or are you a hyocrite.
