Attorney General Eric Holder admitted Tuesday that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was in the process of looking at the use of domestic drones.

Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, questioned Holder during a House Judiciary Committee hearing, asking the Attorney General if he believed if the Federal Aviation Administration or Congress should regulate of drone use.

“Would you think that it would be better that Congress intervene and employ legislation safeguarding the Fourth Amendment, right of privacy basically on citizens or do you suggest as Attorney General that the FAA still control who gets a drone or not?” Poe asked.

Holder did not specifically address Poe’s question but reveled some details of the use of drones in the Justice department....

They have air superiority in Afghanistan, too, and it isn't doing them much good.

That's because Barack "I'll stand with the Muslims" Obama isn't as willing to kill Taliban as he is willing to kill Americans. Don't forget that his mentor, Bill Ayers, once joked about needing to kill 25 million Americans in order to effect socialism.

I'd be surprised to find out that drones haven't been used against Americans *already* let alone that they will eventually be used.

“...Where they have very restrictive ROE against one of the most bloodthirsty, animalistic enemies on the face of the earth. They won’t exercise the same restraint here... “

Agree there.

The coulda’ got some practice in at the Bundy Ranch but turned tail. So far they’ve got a ‘balls’ problem. Wonder how they will deal with it...

this is just a way of avoid the need for warrants.

they already were prevented from using infrared scans to look inside homes.
