BTW - Don't ignore #314. Address this point:

No one is saying it is a certainty except you when you intentionally mis-represent the statements of indivdiuals trying to educate you.

The point of every post to you is that the Constitution, and the limitations it places on government, was/were created for the eventuality of the type of corrupt, socialist, power-mad administration that would come with a Hillaryesque president. The Founders believed they could predict the future - in that power corrupts.

No one is saying they know who will be president in the future - what they are saying is that our theory of government is premised upon giving as little power as possible to the government because YOU CAN NEVER BE SURE WHO WILL GET TO EXERCISE THAT POWER.

How about it, O Wise and All-Knowing Constitutional Scholar?

And you can never be sure who will be there plotting to kill us and take away our freedoms, be they foreign or domestic. We're at war with an enemy that is not traditional and has not been seen in the history of warfare.

Oh I know you will go on a tirade implying by using the term domestic, I mean you. I don't. I am talking about terrorist cells across the country and the world who wish to do harm to you and me and they have to be dealt with, before they cause mass destruction. We live in a different world today and I am glad there are people in our current government who are willing to take on this hard task, to preserve our freedoms, and that you are not in there right now worrying and handwrining that actions taken today to get rid of an immediate threat will be used by someone lacking character later on.

I will cross that bridge when I get there.
