‘”An individual, no matter who they are, if they pose a threat to the security of the United States of America, should not be allowed to continue that threat,” said McCain. “ We need to take every stop necessary to prevent that from happening, that’s for the safety and security of the men and women who are out there risking their lives ... in our armed services.”’
Its unclear from McCains argument how denying due process would make us any safer. For an American citizen simply arrest them, deny bond if that applies and have a trial. Nothing’s broken so why is he trying to ‘fix’ it? Whats he is suggesting is completely unconstitutional. Thx AZ for giving this guy another term. We’re all going to have to suffer under his silliness.
Ultimately, it’s a form of elitism that is somewhat like the divine right of kings. He’s comfortable with making those types of decisions, because he truly believes he and his fellow elites are perfectly capable of omniscience.
The truth is, these guys are about as far from omniscient as you can get.
Every one of the founding fathers was a terrorist by this modern definition.
