Hitler to mass murder Jews legal? Was blindingly following Pol Pot the right thing to do?
Is the legal defense “I was following orders” hold up in court for military personnel?
How does your conscience hold up when you slaughter innocent children and women because your commander and chief said so?

Look if you’re so concerned pressure your rep to repeal patriot act.
I have serious issues with Obama's use of drones. But any legal and collateral damage ethical questions in Obama's case pale in comparison to the constant disregard for the law during this administration.

But the problem with that is that a large percentage of Trump's orders (across government, not strictly military) have been found to be unconstitutional or otherwise unlawful. But they don't see that and for some reason act like Trump is perfect and infallible and all knowing.
This is the problem with a cult of delusional authoritarians being led by a guy with dementia and questionable morals.
