He's on the right track though. "Because I wouldn't want it turned against me" is the reason we collectively decide to limit powers in the first place. No one wants to be persecuted therefore government shouldn't have the power to do so.
This has been my biggest argument with right family members. They love it right now, but imagine Dems regain power over these generally unpopular policies; the very things they love this time around would be hated then. They attempted a coup for much less than this.
