Reprehensible

Shorter Erick Erickson: It’s just a simple fact that Jose Padilla “plotted to blow up a radiological dirty bomb inside the United States,” despite the fact that the government doesn’t have sufficient evidence to even indict him for these charges. But because 9/11 was really horrible, the American state can arbitrarily detain and torture anybody they want–it’s logically impeccable! And anyone who opposes arbitrary state power is just pro-terrorist.

Needless to say, Treason in Defense of Slavery Yankee also agrees with Erickson’s fascist claims.
