   Ask it which laws it thinks are being violated, and

   Ask it whose civil liberties have been eroded, and   
   give some examples.

   That was conducted by the left's beloved FDR. It   
   was a violation of the civil liberties of the   
   Japanese-American citizens who were put into   
   those camps. And yet the left continues to love   
   and revere FDR. I can only imagine what they'd   
   say if Trump tried to do something similar. But   
   then no one has ever accused the left of being   
   consistent about anything. Everything is poltiical   
   for them, and it all depends on whether you're   
   a Democrat or a Republican. Right and wrong are   
   irrelevant to them.

   What dangerous changes?
