That's what our system has devolved into? Innocent until proven guilty, unless the President decides you're a terrorist (no trial required)...you can then expect a summary execution at a time and place of his choosing. Let freedom ring.

The problem is, why does any man have such arbitrary and capricious power in a supposed "democracy"? Sounds more like the purview of a dictator or an Emperor if you ask me. I feel my country slipping away almost every time I type these days. *sigh*
