To paraphrase those dissenters, "In a constitutional republic and outside its borders, even suspected terrorists have the same rights as free men."

Just as regarded the majority opinion in Dred Scott v. Sanford, the majority opinion of US v. Verdugo-Urquidez is "the law," a legalism, not what is right or decent.

Decent people abide by the Golden Rule: "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Decent people respect the rights of people 'round the world.

Evil people, on the other hand, are heedless of what is right and decent and are quite happy to engage in all manner of pilpul, rationalizations, psycho-babble, exceptionalism, legalisms, and brute force to have their way with their slaves and opponents. "Might makes right" is their statist creed. They abide by the perverted 'Golden Rule': "The ones with the gold make the rules."

Well then, why do you own a gun? Would you use it in self-defense? Will you turn the other cheek? If you don't strictly follow the Golden Rule on a personal level (I'm assuming you would protect yourself), then why do you condemn on a national level?

Or perhaps there are exceptions…"Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?" "Nothing," they answered. He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."
