11. One out of three known US citizens who have been targets of this administration was innocent.

See post ten. This young man committed no crime, but was killed by this administration anyway.

Furthermore, do you endorse this huge violation of the Constitution? Since when do we execute anybody on the say so of one man.

Would you trust this power in the hands of Bush or any other Republican? Then why are you advocating for its use now?

abrogate - 1 : to abolish by authoritative action : annul 2 : to treat as nonexistent limpyhobbler Feb 2013 #1
Thank you, MadHound Feb 2013 #2
New word for me. limpyhobbler Feb 2013 #3

Not me. I am not paranoid enough to believe the govt is killing innocent Americans... EastKYLiberal Feb 2013 #6
So you approved of the Bush Admin's extrajudicial powers? leftstreet Feb 2013 #7
Exactly. Obama is taking out terrorists, not innocent people mwrguy Feb 2013 #9

And you are confident of this, how? And even IF true, IT IS STILL UNCONSTITUTIONAL. WinkyDink Feb 2013 #22
I have confidence in Obama and the top minds that he has brought on board his administration mwrguy Feb 2013 #26
Confidence? raindaddy Feb 2013 #33
Even "top minds" can make egregious errors of reasoning... ljm2002 Feb 2013 #69
So what is this young man's crime? MadHound Feb 2013 #10
He was a terrorist disguised as a child - n/t coalition_unwilling Feb 2013 #37
WHAT! MadHound Feb 2013 #42
I guess my sarcasm did not come through. I'm with George Orwell and coalition_unwilling Feb 2013 #44
My apologies then, my bad. MadHound Feb 2013 #46
No worries. I will be renewing my membership to the ACLU tomorrow morning first thing. And coalition_unwilling Feb 2013 #47
You won't be alone, MadHound Feb 2013 #48

You mean naive enough to believe they haven't. grahamhgreen Feb 2013 #30

How could he have been arrested and brought here for trial? GreenStormCloud Feb 2013 #8
Every single one of those examples you listed had some sort of judicial review or involvement, MadHound Feb 2013 #12
I am sure that there was some sort of legal paperwork on the drone strikes. GreenStormCloud Feb 2013 #13
No, there isn't. MadHound Feb 2013 #14
Better starting building a bunker then! And listen to Rush Limbaugh daily! randome Feb 2013 #15
What does your screed have to do with extrajudicial drone killings? MadHound Feb 2013 #16
Power? Anybody can kill you at anytime for any reason. randome Feb 2013 #17
Stop trying to sidestep the question, MadHound Feb 2013 #18
It's irrelevant to me. Do you think Bush would have started a war with 300 million Americans? randome Feb 2013 #19
So shredding the Constitution is irrelevant to you, MadHound Feb 2013 #23
I never said Obama was 'better' than anyone else, Democrat or otherwise. randome Feb 2013 #24
Let's see, one third of the US citizens he has killed extrajudicially was an innocent US citizen, MadHound Feb 2013 #40

So, does this justify your refusal to register your guns should legislation be passed? nt msanthrope Feb 2013 #51
Here you are again, right on cue with the subtanceless post of the day. MadHound Feb 2013 #53
I disagree that they are extrajudicial. Still not going to register your guns? nt msanthrope Feb 2013 #55
So then tell me, where is there any sort of judicial oversight? MadHound Feb 2013 #57
Nonsense. Go read Youngstown, and tell me what sort of Article III oversight is called for. nt msanthrope Feb 2013 #58
What, exactly, are you talking about? n/t MadHound Feb 2013 #60
Perhaps, MadHound, if one calls for 'judicial oversight', one might familiarize msanthrope Feb 2013 #63
Ah, so you really don't know, you're just tossing shit against the wall to see what sticks. MadHound Feb 2013 #65
Youngstown is a SCOTUS decision regarding judicial oversight. msanthrope Feb 2013 #67

I'm not excusing Obama one tiny bit; merely offering the pattern. You may have missed my post Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #79
I didn't think you were, MadHound Feb 2013 #80
No problem. Tensions are quite understandably high right now and I understand. Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #81
