The State has plenty of powers that citizens don't, that's not an argument for the use of those powers. The State has the power to declare war on any nation, to deny civil liberties, and to do pretty much anything that it feels like doing (and don't give me a 'well the constitution protects x argument, the constitution has been amended many times and can be again if 'The State' takes action). Does that make the action right?
Ability to do something doesn't mean that it should be done.
