For me it doesn’t matter. Being placed on a list is not the same as a conviction of a crime and does not require the same burden of proof (proof beyond a reasonable doubt) nor due process. There is no fair trial, no presumption of innocence until proven guilty. It is simply a secret government list.
There are many, many well documented cases of people being put on the list wrongly and then having an exceedingly difficult time getting off of it. What’s more, it would not have solved a single thing in any of the previous acts of domestic terror. Not at all. It is simply a feel good measure designed by politicians to make it look like they are doing something.
I have several conservative friends who support this like Mr Trump, and it boggles my mind. It is like they don’t understand the concept of rights. When asked if they would support people being on the terror list losing their right to unreasonable searches or seizures, their right to speak freely, their right to vote, or the right to be protected from cruel and unusual punishment, they say “of course not.” Why is it different when it comes to this right?
Well my personal opinion has always been that if you are enough of a threats to be on a terror wastch list you should not be in the country.
