   		Exactly my feeling on the matter.  A dictator removes individual   
   responsibility for acts that  are unconstitutional and vicious.  Look at   
   ICE,   
   a poorly trained and vetted Federal police force that murders Americans   
   as well as other legal residents.   
   		   
   	I have written to my legislators in regard to this matter and hope   
   they can make progress into treating this boil on the USA's derriere. I hope   
   that some Republican voters will do the same with their representatives.
