You are using a specious argument. Since when does a President get to just declare an American citizen a terrorist and then be done with it? What if Hillary Clinton gets into office and declares you a terrorist and conducts a warentless wiretap on you, just because she can?

The Bill of Rights applies to American Citizens.

Yours is just as specious, after all the people put the Clintons into office and did not care one wit about the Bill of Rights applying under them, all that was promoted was "civil rights" that make the Bill of Rights null and void.

Hillry is NOT in office and there are in FACT terrorists killers, some already were here and ignored under Hillary term as co-president.

Now if "American citizens" choose to be a part of terrorist organizations that seek to harm the security of USA other citizens then they put themselves as prime targets of wiretapping. It is not as though this is an innocent enterprise without premeditated motives.

I take it that your take on the BOR, 4th Amendment specifically, is absolute?

If so, then you would have been one of those residing in coastal California cities during WWII that would have ignored blackout rules and insisted on your right to put Christmas Lights on your house.

Anyone doing that should expect that the law, or his truly patriotic neighbors, would rip your lights down, and if you insisted upon putting them back up, putting a .45 caliber hole in your head on the spot.

It is no different today. We are at war--some rights may be legally and constitutionally temporarily suspended. Anyone insisting on endagering the rest of us should expect to be hung by the neck until dead.
