Not a Paulite and no tears for American jihadis but assasinating American citizens should at least make us think about the constitutional questions. I’m not real comfortable with any POTUS having that power let alone this one. Fireright? Kill’em all. But I think I would be much more comfortable with oversight from Congress. Or try him in absentia and declare him an enemy combatant who is operational. Some kind of check on this power is logical and desirable I think.
Well said.
So we should get an official document for each terrorist out there? We have one, it is called the Constitution. Any American born terrorist who takes actions against his country, as this vermin did, has null and voided his citizenship, and his therefore eligible for a military exit from this life. This guy was an enemy combatant.
