Hold on a minute. I will stand up to say that "this is not my America" if we endorse torture. No way, no how. But equally, I am against the death penalty as well. I believe in rights of the individual, and I don't believe in this fiction that some people fall outside of our Constitutional laws anymore than I believe that the President has the right to do whatever he thinks is necessary to uphold the Constitution -- it's all a fiction and in fact on the issue of spying on Americans, that was well settled in an 8-0 decision by the Supreme Court during the Nixon era.
