    My understanding is they’re not limiting to those who’ve committed crimes.

    Not your father’s GOP …

    " …

    Convinced of the moral force of his concerns for national security and, if they could only be roused, of the instincts of ordinary Americans, Reagan issued a stern warning against apathy: “Let us reverse the trend of public indifference to problems of national security.”

    The erosion of traditional conservative principles pre-dates Mr Trump’s emergence, of course—as Reagan’s speech also illustrates. It was an argument for small and local government; but not to the exclusion of the strong national institutions a well-governed country needs. “Those concerns of a national character—such as air and water pollution that do not respect state boundaries…must, of course, be handled on the national level,” Reagan said. He also decried “the trend of deteriorating faith in and continuing abuse of our national intelligence agencies.” Compare that to Mr Trump’s forthcoming attack on the Environmental Protection Agency and repeated assault on the nation’s spies. Both are consistent with the destructive anti-government arguments popular on the right, which were parroted by most of Mr Trump’s fellow CPAC speakers.

    I decided to look into the “suspected of any crime” aspect, as that is totally contrary to the very concept of “rule of law”. All I could find was this:

    Executive Order: Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States, Sec. 5. Enforcement Priorities. In executing faithfully the immigration laws of the United States, the Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary) shall prioritize for removal those aliens described …., as well as removable aliens who: …(g) In the judgment of an immigration officer, otherwise pose a risk to public safety or national security.

    Anyone who can’t see how blatantly unconstitutional it is to have the immigration officer acting as judge and jury is disgustingly warped.

    Cheeto Voldemort is extremely corrupt! When will they come for him? I would think the GOP would realize if the shoe was on the other foot, we would see a completely different situation in terms of trump’s shenanigans. If Obama had beaten Romney with the help of the Russians, you don’t think the GOP would think that was just fine?

    The primary goal of this you know, constitutional order (It’s OKAY If A Republican Does It) is INTIMIDATION.

    In that respect, it’s already highly successful.

    And the so-called ‘conservatives’ celebrate the intimidation.

    Don’t have a clue why you put a quote mark around conservatives. They sound like every faithful conservative I’ve ever heard talk without censoring themselves.

    Trump is just the guy they finally got into office that would actually do what they want him to do.

    Be sure to mention all your anti-Hillary drone cartoons when they come to take the failing lib cartoonists away. Bernie will be sure to issue a very angry tweet in support as you’re taken away to the camps.

    Once we get rid of the brown people we’ll a little law and order on who ever is left. Better recycle or Trump’s roadside drones will call up the goon squad with nothing left to do but “follow the law”
