You do see my point regarding the distinction between saving lives and living freely, though, right?
Liberty has always occupied a place on a balancing scale with life at the other end in times of war. An infinitesimal shift of the scale toward life really doesn't cause me too much concern.
If a POTUS began arresting people of any ideology because of their ideology, me and mine would be right next to you with our packs and weapons because the courts haven't the means to protect Americans from tyrants. That is left to the citizens when all is said and done.
