“The Constitution couldn’t be clearer. If the government wants the life, the liberty or the property of a person, they have to do it through due process, which means a jury trial. They can’t just execute. That’s Stalinistic.“
READ: Letter From Eric Holder to Sen. Rand Paul in Response to Filibuster on Drones
The Attorney General
Washington, D.C. March 7, 2013
The Honorable Rand Paul United States Senate Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Paul:
It has come to my attention that you have now asked an additional question: “Does the President have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil?” The answer to that question is no.
Eric H. Holder, Jr.
Please define the use of the term ‘combat.’
to be honest … it is still very troubling …. the answer “no” is to “‘Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil?”
What if this American was a patriot combating a tyrannous US government, which Obama is certainly a head of?
