the Bush Administration wanted to be able to arrest anyone on suspicion of terrorist activities and be able to detain them indefinitely? This desire for the DOJ to be able to arrest anyone and hold them indefinitely has become the standard playbook among Republicans:

) When a Republican is the President, Republicans like to act as if the President has the power of kings who can do whatever they want

2) When a Democrat is the President, endlessly complain about "big government" and "government overreach". Oppose all legislation, even if it will help the country, and even if it is supported by a majority of Republicans.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
