Authority to kill Americans

This should be a chilling realization to all Americans this morning. An American attorney general telling the American people, that their president has the right to utilize drone attacks against US citizens on US soil to kill Americans.  Really?  How in the hell can something this outrageous be tolerated by our people and ignored by our media.

One lone senator, Rand Paul stands alone in the breech this morning attempting to stand for the constitution and the people. Who will stand with him? I don't see any of his supposed "colleagues" lining up to stand and be counted in support of the constitution or the American people.

"Evil flourishes when good men do nothing."

Evil is flourishing in America this morning......

 Barack Obama 'has authority to use drone strikes to kill Americans on US soil'

Barack Obama 'has authority to use drone strikes to kill Americans on US soil'

Eric Holder argued that using lethal military force against an American in his home country would be legal and justified in an "extraordinary circumstance" comparable to the September 11 terrorist attacks.
"The president could conceivably have no choice but to authorise the military to use such force if necessary to protect the homeland," Mr Holder said.
His statement was described as "more than frightening" by Senator Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, who had demanded to know the Obama administration's position on the subject.
"It is an affront the constitutional due process rights of all Americans," said Mr Paul, a 50-year-old favourite of the anti-government Tea Party movement, who is expected to run for president in 2016.
Mr Holder wrote to Mr Paul after the senator threatened to block the appointment of John Brennan as the director of the CIA unless he received answers to a series of questions on its activities.
