Hmmm, maybe..
But a foreign citizen has no RIGHT to enter our country. It is privilege that we bestow if we want to.
The Canadian citizen had a very hostile aggressive attitude of entitlement.
I would never act that way if I was seeking to enter Canada. It's their country, and they have the right to dictate who and how someone enters.
That’s not my point; my point is that as an official of the state they are [supposedly] bound by the Fourth Amendment.
And even if they are not, as some seem to be arguing, they should be able to explain their actions.
If you answered “No reason” to the question of why you killed that guy laying dead at your feet you would, rightly, be convicted of murder.
IOW, why should we give such amazingly arbitrary power to some unelected official of the state as to give as their reason for wielding any power “no reason”?
Are you THAT much convinced of the rightness of any position of authority? If that is the case you ought to become the PR man for Congress because, man, Pelosi, Reid, Dodd and Frank sure need someone to believe in them and relay that genuine belief to others.
And you know what?
They do that duty a heck of lot better than these thugs.
I honestly cannot understand a single person standing up for these people.
I fell in love with America as the hope of mankind as a kid.
Silly of course, but that it should get this ugly, this fast, I could never have imagined.
