alleged victims of torture from having their day in court."

I realize that your sense of loyalty is very overzealous and you are a bit naive and in denial about the current and recent cicil liberty failures on the part of this administration, but even with the Kool-aid high one would think at least that last sentence would bother you, at least a little.

Remember, not all of us want to live in a police state that can strip search you over a traffic ticket and have you locked up or killed without charges if someone in the administration applies a simple label to your name. Not everyone is comfortable with the idea that all our emails and phone calls are being captured without warrents or probable cause, and not all of us feel that the rule of law should not apply to the political elite (or the financial elite for that matter).

Many of us consider all of these things to be less than Democratic and quite harmful to the country and it's citizens.

If you wonder why people complain about these things then you are failing to understand that this is not the country promised by our constitutuion and we would rather have our liberties and rule of law back before it is too late to get them back.

I can not for the life of me understand why an intelligent person such as yourself would just shrug off the loss of liberty so easily over one politician.

I hope you become less naive in the future and put country first, rather than the career of one politician.
