(16,113 posts)the killing of anyone (including a US citizen) anywhere in the world at any time with only the consultation of people who work FOR HIM, then how is he supposed to protect us? I'm with you, I don't see what the big deal is. This is clearly a gray area in the constitution and one needs to be a constitutional scholar to figure out such a complex and confusing issue. Why would the founding fathers have had an issue with the President being able to order the assassination of anyone, anywhere in the world after consulting in secret with a few of the advisers who work for him?
In the end, it's not really about government taking away our rights and shredding the constitution, they're going to do that anyway. I just want it done by the people I voted for. I'll wait until a repuke is president to get all up in arms about this, and hopefully that's a long way away. Until then, if anyone brings it up, I'm just going to blame Bush and changed the subject.
La, la, la, la, la... I can't hear you, la, la, la, la, la.
