Because of the precedent it sets. Just like Trump’s deportation of immigrants without due process, sure, IF the immigrant in question actually IS a dangerous criminal, it works out fine. But by normalizing the power without due process and checks and balances you virtually guarantee that eventually the power will be used against someone who ISN’T “unanimously considered to be a bad guy”.
What has been set? We just pretending this is the first time the USA did something like this lol I remember writing a book report about Noriega getting snatched the same way. We literally just seen this happen to Saddam on tv
Yes, but it’s like an addict quitting their addiction… the longer they go since the last time they did it, the more people can plausibly hope that they’ve kicked the habit.
Now the clock is reset. I don’t believe it is impossible for a government or a people to grow, change, and improve over time without the need for a massive, violent upheaval to force it, but it’s EXTREMELY easy to show that they have NOT, and we got to see that today.
