It is this mentality, the ‘detention’ mentality, that I do *NOT* like. It is *wholly* un-American to detain someone without giving reason, even if that reason is “You were number 49, and I’m inn-depth-searching all multiples of 7 today...”

Does that go against America's sense of "fair play?" That is what Obama said about Arizona detaining illegal aliens.

...if I said what I thought about Obama this post would get pulled.

I’ve said *NOTHING* about ‘fair play.’ I have, however, raised concerns about Justice. (Or at least tried to.)

Remember that it was Thomas Jefferson who said:
“In questions of power...let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him [the government/government-agent] down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”
