Obama took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Something even FReepers won’t do these days.

That statement of course makes this assumption -— KILLING PEOPLE LIKE AL-AWLAKI, WHO HAS DECLARED WAR ON AMERICA AND WHO AIDS, ABETS, COMMANDS AND ENCOURAGES MEN LIKE THE NIGERIAN BOMBER AND COLONEL HASSAN TO COMMIT ACTS OF TERRORISM -— is unconstitutional.
We DID declare war on terror. The main terrorists is a group called Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda committed numerous acts of terror culminating in 9/11 and after than MORE.
Al-Awlaki, an American PUBLICLY tells us that he supports and fights for Al Qaeda and has PUBLICLY declared himself to be an enemy combatant.
That is in fact, the purpose of this thread — to determine whether it is constitutional to kill him when we hs sided with the enemy AT WAR.
Please don’t make an assumption without first proving it.
