What do you propose to do to those in government that are above the law?

It's become far too common for those in power to skirt the law. Unfortunately there are those that have consistently done wrong and continue to move along without repercussion. This must stop.

How is using the no-fly list as gun control not a violation of due process?

Both candidates have said we should use the list to screen gun owners. But there is no due process involved in being placed on the list. Why would you disregard the constitutional? Even the ACLU agree

Do you support using traceable paper ballots and voter ID to reduce fraud?

It seems that it would be fairly simple to hack into our vote counting system. At least with paper ballots, there is the ability to verify after the fact. And why not require a photo ID to vote.

Ms. Clinton, why do you think so many Americans regard you as dishonest?
