  That is not how the legal system works in the UK or USA. That said, I am worried that we are going quickly in that direction.

  No there is a thing call the law, those are passed by elected people and applied by a judicial system that is not the executive branch. Hope that helps.

    > applied by a judicial system that is not the executive branch You have the right to a trial. Defending yourself from a Federal felony charge only costs $250k+. Given recent events, I think undermining civil liberties to expand executive powers is crazy.

      I am nowhere advocating to expand executive power in my response. edit: apologies for not getting your point, I actually think I'm in line. Being able to defend yourself in the US looks too expensive.
