If I could sum up what America stood for when I grew up in a few words it
would be "Innocent until Proved guilty" It was the one thing that made America the great country it became. Any person had a right to defend them self. It did not matter whether you were a visiting foreigner or a US citizen. You had the right to defend yourself from your accuser. You had a right to a speedy trial and the right to an attorney and the right to confront your accuser. It is all stated is "some piece of paper" somewhere. We now live in Amerika. People no longer have that right....I think it is once again time for the tree of liberty to be fertilized by the blood of Patriots

2. Hey I remember the old days when
the govenment had to have evidence to prosecute you.

3. Republicans are never wrong so it doesn't matter
They could never ever imprison an innocent person. :shrug:
