I find Lindsey Graham offensive. He is the classic RINO fool.

I am so offended by these subversive “Republican” civil servants. Their constituents need to send them out to pasture.

Is there not one credible Tea Party candidate that will step up in South Carolina and take on this Rino?

White House, Holder respond to Rand Paul: ‘The answer is no’

I guess the next question is: Would you bet your life on Holder and 0bama being truthful?

Why isn't anyone asking him to define combat? There HAS to be a reason why it was inserted, or he would have simply stated they don't have authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American.......on an American soil.

Remember, they are LAWYERS.....

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., criticized Paul for posing the question. “I find the question offensive,” he said on the Senate floor this morning.

If the question was so offensive, then why did it take a 13-hour filibuster to get a clear answer?

Holder is slimy. Kept his answer vague on purpose until he got called on it. Good for Rand Paul not letting this pass. Contempt of congress, Holder has no credibility.

John MeCain, Mitt Romney & Lindsey Graham are exactly the type Republican Karl Rove wants more of in the party.

“if the United States were under attack, there were an imminent threat”

Who gets to decide that? The _resident?

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney quoted from the letter that Holder sent to Paul today. “Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on an American soil?” Holder wrote, per Carney. “The answer is no.”

But doing it through other means is OK?

MSNBC! Said:

Holder doesn’t rule out drone use in the US

Attorney General Eric Holder was on Capitol Hill Wednesday morning testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on his agency’s policies from guns to drones. NBC’s Pete Williams reports.

Sen. CRUZ: does the constitution allow a u.s. citizen on u.s. soil that doesn’t impose a imminent threat to be killed by the u.s. government ?

AG HOLDER: i do not believe that — again, you have to look at all of the facts, but the facts you have given me, and this is a hypothetical, i would not think in that situation a use of a drone or lethal force would be appropriate.

CRUZ: general holder, i have to tell you, i find it remarkable that in that hypothetical that is deliberately very simple, you are unable to give a one word, one syllable answer no.
