During today's confirmation hearing for Loretta Lynch as DOJ Attorney General, Ted Cruz asked some incredibly poignant questions one of which should send chills down every American's spine.
Cruz asked one question the answer of which SHOULD be quick and obviously "NO!". The question is as follows: "Is it constitutional (for the U.S. gov't) to use a drone's lethal force against an American citizen ON AMERICAN SOIL who doesn't pose a threat?" Loretta Lynch failed to answer with 'no' just as Eric Holder also once failed to answer 'no'. There should be NO debating or pondering the answer to this question. Any answer other than 'no' would indicate she feels there might sometimes be a circumstance where the U.S. gov't lethally drone striking an American on American soil would be acceptable and would not violate an American citizen's constitutional rights.
What does our gov't have in store for us? Why can't the Obamabots answer this question in the obvious way? If this doesn't strike fear in the hearts of Americans, nothing will.
Cruz was brilliant, firing a barrage of questions she would not answer. Cruz' tactic of drawing her out as just another psychobabble word gamer and translation butcher of Constitutional verbiage was quite dramatic.
I’m sure the Republicans will confirm her, but why? They have absolutely nothing to fear from Obama now, and they don’t need to think he is going to play quid pro quo.
For that alone, she should not be confirmed. But she will be.
I can only think of 1 word. Spineless
