Rule of law? How quaint!
The Evil Party is trying to sneak a few paragraphs into bill that would put the DHS above the law. At the Secretary’s sole discretion, of course, thus fulfilling the essential requirement for tyranny.
Unalienable Rights, why, that sounds like treason. King George doesn't like it when the peasants start thinking they have any sort of rights other than to pay taxes to support the lifestyles of the rich and famous.
