Eric Holder: Drone Strike To Kill U.S. Citizen On American Soil Legal, Hypothetically

[quote]WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration believes it could technically use military force to kill an American on U.S. soil in an "extraordinary circumstance" but has "no intention of doing so," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in a letter disclosed Tuesday.[/quote]So, according to the Attorney General, the President of the United States of America believes he has the authority to disregard the Constitution, the supreme law of the land which he is sworn to uphold, and violate the inalienable rights of American citizens. He thinks that the checks placed around his branch of government are irrelevant and that it should the the Executive, not the Judiciary, branch that interprets the law and condemns American citizens to death without a fair trial. I'm sure this speaks for itself. It is disgusting, it is scary, and this man, Barack Obama, should not be in the office of the most powerful position on Earth. Isn't this essentially the precursor to fascism and militarized law enforcement? It's an absolute disregard for the rule of law and the idea of a limited government with a separation of powers.

  • The problem I have with this is that they define the strikes as only being pursued under "extreme circumstances", yet vaguely define what these circumstance would be.
