re: #580 Barbarian at the Gate

Do you really think that after 236 years of constitutional freedom we still need to send a “message” to the world that we are a nation of laws? Also which nations do we need to send that message to - Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Syria, the Sudan?

Yes. You think we should just rest on our laurels? If tomorrow they scrap the constitution and hold you in prison indefinitely without trial, would you rest content that for the previous 236 years we were a nation of laws? Didn’t think so.
