I suppose if this had occurred during the Clinton administration, and if
Clinton had similarly detained Padilla without due process, Conservative

Yeah, I can't see why Padilla can't be given his rights, due process, equal
protection, trial by jury for treason, right to appeal, and then hung upside
down by the short-hairs until he is dead either...

I mean, the guy is an american however loathsome his actions.  Being tried
for treason seems sufficient to me -- why deny him his rights?  What is up
with that?  Frankly, I can't see why anyone accused of terrorism should be
denied their rights.  If we have the goods on them, I say try them and lock
them up!

On a finer point, you don't really think that democrats or republicans
represent anything but middle of the road politics as usual, do you?  It's
just another variant on "bread and circuses."
