Looks like O-Bozo’s getting ready to play Cowboys and Communists.
On another bent, Alexander with a force of 50,000 men beat ten times as many Persian’s and took over their empire with a fraction of the fancy high tech military gear.
There is a lot of effect in integrity and honor in war, something O-Bozo got a severe lack of.

What about drone SURVEILLANCE WITHOUT A WARRANT? That’s unconstitutional as well.
Don’t forget...... Bubba did it with grenades and fire.
The dyke gave the order to kill Americans at Waco
Drones are irrelevant. The question is whether there are circumstance where the military could use lethal force against an American Citizen. And, the answer is of course there are.
That's been a hallmark of the regime.
I also think they like to actively cultivate a response. Could also serve as psyops against their enemies (bitter clingers, tea partiers, etc.).
And yet, he couldn't bring himself to order lethal force in Benghazi...
The Constitution gives Congress the power to call out the militia to suppress insurrections, not the President.
Doing so, however, would be an acknowledgement that a Civil War was in progress, and be likely to provoke a reciprocal response.
They have to come out of them sooner or later.
He only orders lethal force against his enemies.
The Constitutional also makes the President Commander in Chief. As such, he is responsible for defending the United States.
Consider an American Citizen flying an airliner inbound towards the White House who proclaims his intent to crash that airliner into that building. Do you believe the President could order that airliner shot down?
You’re being obstinate - of course he can respond to an imminent threat, just like I personally can respond with deadly force to a deadly threat to me or anyone else.
The administration’s claim is that they can drone Americans on American soil, who do not at the time pose any imminent threat to anyone, without trial.
“The administration’s claim is that they can drone Americans on American soil, who do not at the time pose any imminent threat to anyone, without trial.”
Not true. The administration (Holder) said; The Obama administration believes it could technically use military force to kill an American on U.S. soil in an “extraordinary circumstance” but has “no intention of doing so,” U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in a letter disclosed Tuesday.
That is not the same thing you claimed.
Obviously you believe your definition of “extraordinary circumstance” is the same as their definition of “extraordinary circumstance”.
What’s his take on Vicky Weaver? Was she part of a Pearl Harbor event? Cause she sure is dead now.
I believe that there are “extraordinary circumstances” where the federal government can use lethal force against an American citizen whether that citizen is within or outside of the US.
I gave an example that no one has been able to refute until and unless you can disprove my example, my point stands. It doesn’t matter if the lethal force involves a drone or some other form of lethal force.
Also, as an aside, I believe Rand Paul to be only slightly more sane than his father. Rand Paul created a straw man argument where he made false claims about the position of the US Government.

You don't seem to understand.
That means he plans on doing so.
So, if you told me that you had “no intention of jumping off a bridge this afternoon”, I should ‘understand’ you plan on doing so?
No.
But if a RAT told you that, you better start watching the obituaries.
