But we can never say that

“But we can never say that” was attributed to Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black in an issue of the Wilson Quarterly,  a journal I subscribed to about 1990.  The issue containing Black’s comment was about 2000 or 2001.

Black’s comment was supposed to be about the Law School hypothetical – would you torture someone to prevent 5 million people being killed by a nuclear device?  He said, “Of course we would but we can never say that.”

Recently, a lot of children were migrating to the US.  Hillary Rodham Clinton, being aware of the “we can never say that” guidance said that all the children have to be sent back.   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hillary-clinton-child-migrants_us_55d4a5c5e4b055a6dab24c2f

We can never say that lawbreakers will be given amnesty.  Otherwise, we are flooded with illegal immigrants.

Donald J. Trump knows that "amnesty" is a bad thing for our country.  Hillary used to know that we have to say that even unaccompanied children must be sent back.

We may torture or we may grant amnesty but WE CAN NEVER SAY THAT.
