If the government can't hold the people it knows (or strongly suspects) are of this breed, pretty much they will walk. and maybe that is cool becasue it is necessary to protect con. rights, but I will not let Ty and NB ignore that letting them walk is a certain result of rulings such as the one Ty hails.

So the government should be allowed to lock up people who it thinks are members of street gangs (or heavily armed religious cults) even though it lacks the evidence to bring criminal charges? Interesting.
I'm hoping this strain of conservative authoritarianism wanes when the next President is a Democrat. Y'all will suddenly remember the virtues of limited government.
