I guess the idea of preserving the admissibility of evidence was anathema during the Bush years because of the amount of criminal activity the government was up to and its need to keep the population afraid of terrorists and therefore docile.
So it’s no surprise that Hayes is unhappy that we have people running the country who 1) might actually be able to put terrorists away, and 2) understand that the best way to defeat our enemies is to play to our strengths — e.g., the rule of law, due process — rather than become like them.
You see, Steve, if we do it your way, the terrorists really do win.
