Yes? Then let me point out to you that Director Mueller would find his job much easier if there were no Fifth Amendment, no search warrants, no Posse Comitatus, no habeas corpus, no jury trials, and no due process.

A red herring. Read the Patriot Act. There are protections and safeguards for civil liberties. Many of the provisions of the Act were already available to fight drug and crime lords, just not terrorists. We are at war.

The fact that they would make his job easier is not sufficient reason to dispense with those things.

LOL. That was not the rationale or reason for the Patriot Act. It is not a question of making his job "easier", but rather making our efforts against the terrorists more effective. We are trying to prevent another 9/11 or something far worse. There really are people out there who are trying to kill us on a mass scale.

We are at war.
