Resist calls strip any US Citizen of their right to a lawyer and a speedy trial.

Created by B.T. on April 21, 2013

We hear the calls to treat this 19 year old in Boston who allegedly did these heinous acts as an enemy combatant. We need to say no. He is a US citizen. He needs a lawyer. He needs to be presumed innocent. He needs a speedy trial. And if guilty, then by all means throw the book at him. But no water-boarding, no secret prisons, none of that. Let's make this second term of this administration one in which we reclaim the checks and balances of a three branch democracy. Cede your power Mr. President. Let the courts handle this as they properly should. No martial law. No endless war-on-anything eroding our freedoms any more.
