Eric Holder: Drone strikes against Americans on U.S. soil are legal

Attorney General Eric Holder can imagine a scenario in which it would be constitutional to carry out a drone strike against and American on American soil, he wrote in a letter to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
“It is possible, I suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States,†Holder replied in a letter yesterday to Paul’s question about whether Obama “has the power to authorize lethal force, such as a drone strike, against a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil, and without trial.â€
Paul condemned the idea. “The U.S. Attorney General’s refusal to rule out the possibility of drone strikes on American citizens and on American soil is more than frightening – it is an affront the Constitutional due process rights of all Americans,†he said in a statement.
Holder noted that Paul’s question was “entirely hypothetical [and] unlikely to occur,†but cited the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks as the type of incidents that might provoke such a response.
The piece runs three more paragraphs. However, as to the last paragraph, can you say, "false flag?"

Let's just shit on the Constitution and be done with it. :banghead:

Which American city will have the honor of being the first target?

Somewhere in Texas, I would think.

I guarantee it won't be Detroit, LA or Chit-cago, unless the Rethuglikkkans are planning a conference in one of those shitholes.

I'm guessing that this ability to assassinate US citizens isn't limited to using drones, but any weapons that are available.

I'm sure we'll find out in the next 3-6 months.

Holder said 9/11 was an example to show that deadly force "...against an American on American soil..." could be used against American citizens? But none of the perps were American citizens. And who defines "an emergency"?
Think of the 1000+ armored vehicles DHS bought! Think of the billions of 9mm and .40cal ammo when he said "...any weapons..."!
How long will it take before three deer hunters in the field are called a militia, and a deadly threat to the government deserving a drone strike? God help us!

Pelosi: Obama can keep drone strikes against Americans a secret
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., believes that President Obama doesn’t necessarily have to announce that an American citizen suspected of terrorism has been killed in a drone strike.

Maybe that is what is causing random explosions around the country. Then again, there was the guy in Florida killed by a "sinkhole" who's last name was Bush.

I am not into tinfoil stuff but dammit they are laying the foundation for attempting a dictatorship.

That's not tinfoil stuff. It's happening.

You all heard it and see it. Now what are we going to do about it? I supposed the first step would be to sue in the courts but who and when and do the people have a chance to stop it?

You don't need a tinfoil hat to see,
The dots are connecting;
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. By 1987 that figure had risen to 61,911,000.

Is this guy Joseph Stalin another hero of Obama's ? Just maybe.
Do we still have a constitution or did Holder burn it......

HI,
Unfortunately we are well past that one. Not only drones but the little syping devices etc. Soon it will be like Hitler where we have to be inside and whisper.
Hope all is well,

There is that little thing about them being able to listen through cell phones even when they're turned off. :tinfoil2:
