Why do libertarians like Andrew Napolitano want to set free terrorists just because they WANTED to kill Americans? As long as you want to kill someone but haven't actually gone through with it, according to the Supreme Court, this is good enough to charge someone with a crime.

No, I'm pretty sure the Supreme Court is not that stupid. Though many insecure conservatives might be. WANTING to do something isn't the same thing as making it happen. And it's not the same thing as posing a viable threat.

Libertarians are weak on national security. We're not. We just think that if the only way the feds can pretend they're doing something about terrorism is to setup rebellious teens for a life prison terms, they're pretty fucking useless.
