Couldn't agree more with the journal here. Yes child predators are loathsome creatures, yet having served their sentences, the Federal Government should not arbitrarily be allowed to extend their prison stays.
Under this theory, what's to stop a Progressive administration like Obama's from extending the sentences of financial fraudsters? You might argue that this is hyperbole, but it's not - the offense against "society", is exactly what some official says it is.
This is scary shit people. And Obama has drunk from the "Power corrupts" Kool-aid every bit as deeply as Bush ever did. He's become a partisan hack who views the Unitary Executive Branch theory as Holy writ.
