This has nothing to do with the job, but rather her actions.

You can still support the 2nd amendment while wanting to have gun reform. Background checks, waiting periods, assault weapons can and should be regulated.

Let's say for the sake of the debate you have a pre teen daughter. Two people break into your house and kidnap her. You chase them, and end up catching one. The other vanishes with your daughter. Now the one you've caught knows exactly where to find her but doesn't want to give that info up. Can you honestly tell me that you would have a problem leaning on this person to make him give up the location of your daughter ?
The justice system in the US would be pretty damn barbaric if it was all based on "what if it was your daughter".

It doesn't. They too want to go against the Constitution (going against the 2A).

Going against the 8A is not okay either though.

So.

Right after 9/11 a LOT of things were done.

A question, was what she DID LEGAL at the time?

Some are against so-called torture and some are for it.

Enhanced Interrogation methods are called "torture" by some and others will argue that they are NOT torture.
