Hmm. If they can be made to "disappear" on such a perfectly legal nothing, then so can the next president... who you might like. Which is to say, you approve the complete disregard for the law by one party, but condemn it by the other? Sounds like a totalitarian stance, even if you want a beneficent dictator. Either everyone gets the rule of law, or in the end, no one will.
All or nothing means all you get is forms of tyranny. One reason we haven't had it in this country is taking "all" the federal government by a party didn't really mean total control. It seems no one these days remembers that the fed is a limited government. No, we just want "our" people in no matter what it takes, because it means all or nothing.
