*Candidate Bush denounced the immigration laws that detained - and ultimately deported - Mazen al-Najjar.

**Perhaps you could elaborate on the part of the Patriot Act in question instead of lumping it all together making it look like they oppose it in it's entirety.

The Patriot Act was passed after Candidate Bush became President Bush.

I would add it is the same part criticized by many... democrats, conservatives and libertarians, as reminiscent police state powers.

Is it your assertion that President Bush still opposes the use of classified evidence in the detention and prosecution of terrorists, as he did as a candidate?

If not, then spare me the goose chase.

Bottom line is that Norquist still opposes the use of classified evidence against terrorists.

Cite for me the "many... democrats, conservatives and libertarians" who, like Norquist, were acting in concert with receiving awards from, terrorists.

You can't, so your "lotsa people do it" parry is non-responsive.

You're dodging and spinning 'tooth. Do agree that the government should be able to detain and prosecute individuals based on evidence that they don't have to produce? Isn't it a constitutional right that persons accused of wrong doing have the right the be confronted with the evidence against them?

And the biggie, what do you think Hillary Clinton would do with this power if, God forbid, she was ever elected President?
