RE :”Those that think this is a valid defense will scream bloody murder when, if the precedent were established, it would be used by the liberal cause de jour to justify killing”

Thanks. I am ketting pings with replies saying things like “Kill them. We decide the law” And this is the pro-life group LOL . They are candy for MSNBC and Air America.

As I said, it is situational. The exact same principle would be opposed with the equal fervor if it were applied to someone of a different political ideology.

Something isn't a valid defense for one side, but a lousy precedent for the other side. Just as an expansion of Presidential power should not be judged on if you like the current occupant of the White House or not; but if you would like to see your worst case scenario President of the other party exercising that power.
