1. Jefferson, Lincoln, and others, have done things that they knew
were illegal, but then sought "legalization". The point is that
they didn't claim they were right in what they did when they did
it, but asked Congress to approve their action after the fact.
The difference with this administration is they insist that it is
right because they decide it is right. They refuse to accept or
acknowledge oversight.
2. Surely you jest, I live in Florida and vote at the convenience
of the US Supreme Court, not the state of Florida. The system is
not fixed.
3. As a former military linguist/interrogator and then a civilian
criminal investigator I know from training and experience that you
can elicit real information without duress, much less torture. I
also know that you can't even effectively communicate through an
interpreter.
The people who are in charge, who ordered this, don't understand
the process. They have read too many novels and watched too many
videos/movies.
Consider the reality: if their scheme was effective, why did it
take years to discover that their were innocent people in Gitmo?
