So what now? Shoot them all dead on the battlefield or just not fight the fight at all? I think we all know which way this administration wants to go.
Our nation has amazingly broad protections for free speech, religious liberty and political expression. People have the right to own property, have the means to defend themselves and their families, and be informed by a free press. If the government wants to convict them, they are presumed innocent, entitled to a prompt jury trial with the help of a lawyer, and cannot be tortured or given unreasonable fines.
At least that’s how it used to be.
