Hey Ron, STFU!
The authority comes from “We the People”, and we are good with it.
Just becasue we didn’t spend 16 million dollars on a trial doesn’t mean we didn’t give public consent: we didn’t call our representatives to demand a trial.
I love a bumpersticker and button that says, “Hey Ron, STFU!” with his face next to it.
Agreed. What all these self proclaimed constitutional experts, including those on this thread gnashing their teeth and wringing their hands, fail to realize, AlAwaiki gave up his citizenship, thus his rights, the second he left this country and gave allegiance to AlQueda, no different than renouncing one’s citizenship. In this case de facto renunciation equates to de jure. As much as it pains me, Obama was right to uphold Bush’s findings relating to combatants. Makes him an even bigger hypocrite but then nothing new on that front.
