President Obama can legally drone strike Americans without trial....

[RadioRaheem84]

President Barack Obama has the legal authority to unleash deadly force—such as drone strikes—against Americans on U.S. soil without first putting them on trial, Attorney General Eric Holder wrote in a letter released Tuesday.
But Holder, writing to Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, underlined that Obama “has no intention” of targeting his fellow citizens with unmanned aerial vehicles and would do so only if facing “an extraordinary circumstance.”

This is frightening but it will also send the right wing into a full blown frenzy.

It's almost as though Obama's administration is threatening right wing militia nuts to "bring it on".

And the Bourgeois liberals considered Obama to be a president of peace and tranquility.:mad:

Kind of reminds me of the NDAA and how Obama had "no intention of using it on U.S. citizens."

Well where the hell are the liberals who were all pissed at Bush for water boarding Islamists? I despised that but at least I was against it and this new thing. Here Obama is saying I can literally blow you the fuck up and there is not a damn thing any of you can do about it because it's now legal!

It's the bourgeois state what do you expect.

I didn't expect them to be this blatant, or think that we're that dumb to write, "yeah the President has the power to drone strike the fuck out of you if he thinks you're a threat, oh and without a trial to prove you're a threat too, but he's a nice guy and won't do it because you know he won the Nobel Peace Prize".

So I guess when the next Waco happens, the state will be hitting them from the air

To be fair, though, this was the next logical step after 9/11 and the Homeland Security Act.

This is just sick.

I think it's an indication of how bankrupt progressive democrats are here that not a single one of them in Congress raised a question on this besides Wyden in Oregon, and it took a tea-bagger nutjob like Rand Paul to bring it up.

We shouldn't be surprised though, when their party of choice is in power they'll overlook problems they'd call out otherwise. I mean where were all these deficit and debt blabbers in the past decades?
