That is not entirely true - the President now has the power to order the assassination of US Citizens outside the US, at his whim, a power he has already exercised. Persons subject to the Constitution have already been detained without council for "suspicion" and removed to Guantanamo.
Just because Paul has some views which are deplorable does not mean that his opinion here is as well - furthermore, he is not the first in line with his criticism of this - we have been discussing this issue for several weeks here ...

On every issue of National Security the views of Ron Paul are deplorable, I doubt this issue is any different.
