No, i hate godwin. use whatever example you like. many leaders throughout world history have used 'national security' to justify breaking the law. julius ceaser, numerous kings in england, the list goes on and on.

Did you for once think from your armchair that perhaps the people dealing with this directly have a better idea of what is needed and how to go about it then you do?

I don't need, nor do I want, a governmental babysitter. So many so called conservatives cry about a nanny state but they certainly refer to big time doublespeak when it comes to an issue that they can't justify legally. It's BS. I did not elect a babysitter, I elected someone to uphold and defend the constitution. What kind of leader is the person that can say the constitution doesn't apply 'in times of war'?
