First of all, are you aware that the constitution ITSELF allows the Executive to suspend habeas corpus in time of national emergency?

In what figures to be a permanent state of "heightened alert", are you in favor of suspension of civil liberties?

Okay, so vote these guys out of office and vote for Hillary! or Tom Daschle. They'll make things right for you like Democrats ALWAYS try to do. Take the civl war era, for instance. Until the taking of Atlanta, Lincoln was a shoe-in for defeat because "everyone knew" the people were gonna vote for the Dems who would then turn around and "negotiate peace" with the rebels.

The voters spoke differently, though, which put the kabosh on all the same sort of sentiments you're expressing.

We are going to have to live with "less liberty" for awhile--whatever that means. Personally, none of this stuff is affecting me, and it won't affect any of YOU either. You just can't get out of the habit of bashing the government over everything--even when it's doing the job it's constitutionally SUPPOSED to be doing.
