Yeah. I've gone from a law and order conservative to more conservative on restricting government in the last 4 years. I have real questions about whether the Patriot Act is much more a threat to this country than a benefit. And rouge DAs need to be reeled in.

My eyes have been opened to the abuses that can and do take place with government.

If they do it to people with resources like the Trumps, imagine what they would do to an ordinary person who gets in their way.

Would you let the police search your home/car/person without a warrant if you've done nothing wrong? I thought not. Go away.
Hypocrites? What do you call this:


If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth?’ Trump said — years after invoking it himself

Anybody who does real estate in New York City has to do business with the mob.

That doesn't mean everybody in real estate in New York is a criminal.

Same people defending Eric's rights to plead the fifth would defend cops for shooting someone who refused to let them search his car.

The District of Manhattan is looking into Trump's company for fraud. These are state crimes, you know, just like his fake foundation closed for fraud and Trump U closed for fraud. Let me guess, you contributed to Bannon's build the wall scam didn't you? If you can't see the forest for the trees, what does that make you?

Speaking of the 5th amendment, what ever happened to Lois Lerner? Will she ever face charges for the numerous felonies she committed while working for the IRS under Obama's watch?

You just made that up. But, I'll bite:


1) Cite a case where the police shot someone for refusing to let them search their car.
2) Now, find someone who thinks this is OK.


You're projecting your liberal nonsense on others. The Dems notion that the end justifies the means is blatantly anti-American. Hell, it's anti-human.

Ah, liberal "logic" strikes again. Can't defend you position? Bring up an example wherein the opposition did a similar thing and use it as a defense. Didn't your mommy teach you that two wrongs don't make a right? I'm having kindergarten flashback debating with you people.
