re: #180 Naso Tang

We know what the rule of law is and we don’t need to try KSM to prove it, any more than we needed to try OJ Simpson to prove how great it is.

We disagree — we test our system every day with every contract and every docket. It is a good thing.

The point is that we accord our citizens certain rights that we give heavy weight to, even at the possible expense of ourselves; and the reasons we do so have to do with the security and stability and cohesiveness of our society and system of government.

To accord the same to our avowed enemies would have lost us every war we have won in the past.

The rights aren’t exactly the same, but they are similar — and the supreme court has ruled this.

You don’t know the difference between a police force and an army, nor why there should be one.

You are mistaken.
