So you’re saying the law shouldn’t be able to shoot vicious criminals on site like Bonnie and Clyde? And whenever we find some criminal allied with a murderous, anti-U.S. group like Al-Qaeda, we should make sure we don’t kill any U.S. citizens who might be traveling with the group, right? And how do we do that?
First, the law can only shoot criminals when those criminals are actually shooting at law enforcement. Those who enforce the law do not conduct the executions.
Second, this was out of our country and the perpetrator was not shooting at anyone at the time.
If Obama wants to use the war angle, then there should be an official declaration of war. But, even then, they need to provide supporting evidence that this American was aiding the enemy to a judge who can objectively approve or deny the designation as an enemy combatant.
So you’re saying that the president doesn’t have to abide by the constitution?
