I never said wait until after. Are you saying that the US has 700,000 terrorists?

First of all, it's an internationally compiled terrorist list.

Second, you may not have said it, but that's how I read it. Arrest the person on suspicion but don't put them on a list for suspicion? Um okay.

If a person is THAT much of a terrorist threat, arrest that person. Don't place him on a list. If law enforcement has enough evidence, then arrest the person.

But to remove rights because of a suspicion? Tyranny.

And you have no issue with denying a person their 5th Amendment rights? Due process?

He's just pandering to his supporters. As others have said, it would almost certainly be ruled a violation of due process guaranteed by the Constitution if/when it heads to the courts.
