Now the federal government deigns to detain people indefinitely for what they might do? Even though they have served their time and have not committed additional crimes?
Isn't this the same as punishing people before they commit crimes (a la Minority Report)?
And, to think, as Solicitor General, current Supreme Court-nominee Elena Kagan sucessfully argued the government's case before the Supreme Court!
This is a very bad precedent indeed.
Edit: John Stossel reminds us that the government has been stealing innocent people's stuff for years. Government agents claim they have the right to confiscate property they think has been or may be used in a crime and keep it? even if the legal owner is never convicted?
Now that's criminal.
I tell you, folks, our government is becoming a criminal enterprise.
I believe that the government has no right to take property if the person isn't convicted...and even if the person is convicted they should only use the land until they find a sufficient amount of evidence. The criminal has non-persecuted family members who have a right to obtain the land. It is criminal.
