…this is how you view the Constitution:
[Referring to the killing of Anwar Al-awlaki] “Obviously it was in violation of our 5th amendment rights having the government take away our rights to life, liberty, and property without due process of law, no question…But in my mind it was the right decision by this president in this circumstance.”—Juan Williams
So let me get this straight, and you progressives out there correct me if I’ve gotten it wrong, the Constitution means what it says but if this president decides that it should be circumvented in a particular circumstance, we’ll just defer to him. (yeah, yeah I know, Bush did it too.)
I think that’s what they call the rule of men as opposed to the rule of law.
