So we should be no better than they were? Is that the kind of American values you want your kids to live up to?

When you said that legal due process rights under the U.S. Constitution do not apply to non-U.S. citizens.

Any jump you made was your own, not one that I supported or made. Nice try. You fail.

What have your values and your family to do with legal due process rights for non-citizens? By denying these rights to non-citizens you make torture a legal option.

BS.

That is a jump you made to make your political points and show your displeasure at current policy and previous history. My values and my family have nothing to do with this discussion. You are nothing more than a dense bully.
