Related: About this forumObama, I agree with the ACLU.
You should not support a policy which violates civil liberties.
As a former supporter I am disappointed you have vindicated the idea held by some that you act unconstitutionally.

I'm a liberal and a democrat.
Obama seems not to be.

(4,276 posts)You seem not to be. There's a huge difference between not supporting our President and not supporting some of his policies. Pick a side.

That's not liberal.

(3,071 posts)You can disagree with policies and you may not support him now--maybe you never really did. But don't tell me who is liberal. I'll decide for myself who I think fits that definition.

Obama, I agree with the ACLU.
Well, as long as it's not about Jeevus.
Maybe the third time will be the charm...
You like to defend a lack of due process - I ask what are you doing here?
This is embarrassing, and if you support it, then I guess you can feel all the smug you like.

(61 posts)I recently learned that our President supports policies lacking due process.
I cannot defend Obama for this. It is far too terrible.
Oh. And I care a lot. I wanted him to make me proud for defending him in all the arguments I've had with people who denounce him. This proves I was wrong and now I'm ashamed, embarrassed, mad, etc.

(68,868 posts)You just learned that some of Obama's policies trouble civil liberties advocates. What rock have you been living under for the past four years?
Not buying it.
