They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Freedom to think or believe is something entirely separate from freedom to impose your thoughts or beliefs on others. If freedom is to mean anything, then government should protect not the right to impose, but the freedom from that imposition.

This is chilling. The President is asserting authority to kill completely outside of the law. And plans to keep at it.
We are not at war, and he is ignoring the criminal laws that actually apply (eg, murder).
No limiting principle stops him from doing this to others he labels "terrorists."
