Kindly explain what the hell that has to do with anything.
I am against the ‘War on drugs’, no knock raids under any circumstances and pretty much anything else that is anti constitutional. There has never been a need to NOT get a warrant and not the slightest need to execute a SWAT style raid with the exception of hostage rescue.
We lost a lot of civil liberties under Bush 43 but few on here cared because it was a Republican. My view is that the government should *NEVER*, under any circumstances and for any reason, have more power, funding or authority - even if currently being run by the BEST of men- than we would want it to have if run by the worst of men.
Agreed, but it didn't include me.

And I'd go even farther -- no more of any of that stuff than the bare minimum they need to discharge their Constitutionally mandated duties. IOW, even if a given power could only EVER be used for good, even by the worst scoundrel, they still don't get that power if they don't need it to do their job as defined by the Constitution.
