And that's what separates us - you favor trashing the Constitution and the protections it contains - I agree with the justice cited in my #1348, and with the decision in ex parte Milligan, that the Constitution applies at ALL times - EQUALLY in war and peace.

And the court said this was so because it wouldn't always be the case that the government would be administered by men like Washington and Lincoln, whom they were very careful to praise.

I've taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. Of course it is easy to defend it against people like you.

So? So did Lincoln and William J. Clinton.
