Essentially, the administration is threatening a terrorist attack anytime they don't get what they want. That is not a good enough reason to throw away our civil liberties.
The Democratic argument seems to be:
"If we do what they say and there is a terrorist attack we won't be blamed."
"If we don't do what they say and there is a terrorist attack they will say it is our fault."
Have you ever heard a more stupid argument?
This administration has no credibility. None. The only thing propping them up at this point is the media. And based on Hiatt's article, that may be about to change.
The Democrats have the majority in Congress. They have the responsibility to preserve our democracy from this rogue administration's illegal machinations. The Dems need to quit making excuses and just do it.
