Reply #89: If the law cannot stop him, what can stop him?

You are arguing that our laws must not prevent Obama from rounding up people and incarcerating them without any charges. If it is not the duty of law enforcement to stop him from doing this, then what exactly will stop him from locking people up without any charges? He seems fine with the whole concept.

This is not about Obama or Bush, this is about what is legal and what isn't legal. This is about the difference between a banana republic and what America is supposed to stand for. If we wanted a banana republic we would have voted for Palin.

How long would you want your children locked up without any charges? Would six years be too long, or would you go along with locking them up for that seventh year if the President was likable enough about it?

They should be charged, or they should be free to go.

That is a basic human right. I don't see what is complicated about it. Why rip up the Constitution and disobey long standing laws and abandon our love of liberty in order to accomplish something that is so fundamentally wrong that even a child can see that it's wrong?
