You post here it's fair game for argument. 

>I believe it should be overturned, you believe it shouldn't

Yep, I just can't past first amendment rights on this one. (more than one,
search and seizure, free speech, ...)  And you think the president has the
power to do whatever he feels like in the name of fighting terror when it
comes to dealing with everyone (even U.S. citizens.)

Anyway, it's a very deep argument that needs to be healed -- we aren't the
only two arguing either side and there is no middle ground for anyone. 
It's ripping our society apart and it's only going to get worse for the
next 2 years.

And I don't like a bunch of so called conservatives giving away everyone's
rights. (I'll no longer call republican's conservatives, they left that a
LONG time ago)

>I see no reason why I should die because they are paranoid that the

And I see no reason to give away my rights so you can feel warm fuzzies
about faux protection from the crazies.

All that said, I'm sorry for the tone of my posts today, I've got one heck
of a migraine headache so my inhibitions are suffering...
