"Senators and presidents don't have men killed."
"Oh, who's being naïve, Kay?"
Seth Rich is happy to hear this.
This guy must be a Trump voter.
Yes. I'm familiar with the history of the Gestapo and the NKVD, not to mention the Roman Empire, China under Mao Tse Tung, and Pol Pot's Cambodia.
“Kareem alleges that he was narrowly missed by five military strikes that he thinks were carried out by the U.S. military as a result of his inclusion on a kill list. He suggests that he was put on the list because of metadata from electronic devices, and he doesn’t meet the guidelines for inclusion.”
After watching what went down with Trump, it is not hard to see how Brennan might have pulled some shenanigans on people putting them on a kill list. Govt should be held accountable for their nefarious, dubious, and questionable practices. Btw, not saying Brennan was involved in this. Just saying someone who operates like Brennan should have some true oversight
Does this mean the Clinton’s and Soetero and their ilk will be snuffed?
I hope we don’t joke about how other countries have a joke of a Constitution and where citizens have no real rights?
The US Constitution and the Bill of Rights are meaningless.
A run away government bureaucracy always looking to expand it’s budget, scope and powers, government secrecy (most of which is for self benefit and not actual protection of capabilities, sources, future operations, techniques and procedures), liberals looking to grow government to create their egalitarian and economic secure utopia, conservative wanting to grow government in the name of security from physical threats, the ignorant masses that do not care except for pop culture trash, what feels good or gives them 15 minutes of notoriety... here we are.
For the Republican voter, the George H. and George W. types... they are just as much at fault for this massive government and mess, the usurping of basic constitutional concepts as the worst liberal like an Obama. For the true Conservatives out there believing in the US Constitution and understanding that big government makes for a small citizen, take this as a warning. Never fall for it. The Founding Fathers were right: B. Franklin was right!!!
“Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Of course the DOJ lawyer is sworn in under the US Constitution, raising the right hand to uphold and protect it from enemies foreign and domestic. Hahahaha
I’m sure the Dems consider their methods of “winning” elections to be state secrets. This, every pro-Trump/anti-Biden election lawsuit is, to them, “litigation involving state secrets.”
Separation of powers - rather than reveal any secrets, the DOJ could simply either not contest the case, or in the most extreme measure I wish some POTUS would employ, not even go into court on it. To suggest that it can kill citizens just to “protect state secrets” is (1) Constitutionally silly and (2) suggests the state is willing to employ unnecessary steps to protect those “secrets” (of course the DOD/DOJ/FBI/CIA bureaucrats reveal secrets, anonymously, to “the press”, every day, even when there is no formal decision those secrets have become declassified).
“The plaintiff, Bilal Abdul Kareem, is a U.S. citizen who works as a journalist in Syria”
Probably not too smart to go to Syria, given what’s going on their (and that our government will be monitoring you).
not a good precedent to set
He’s on a battlefield in enemy held territory providing support to the enemy. We don’t need an excuse to kill him. It doesn’t matter if he is a US citizen. Think of it this way - Lord Haha and Tokyo Rose were, respectively, British and American. But the provide enemy propaganda targeted at our citizens and troops. We would not need legal review kill them. This is the same case here.
But “...the United States can kill its own citizens without judicial review when litigation would reveal state secrets” is an effin’ absurd argument. I’d have that guy fired so bloody fast.
I see that my tagline below speaks the truth.
Is the reverse true, in self-defense?
“State Secrets” is code for “Federal Bureaucrat Crimes”
This is just lawfare by terrorist supporters to interfere with US military operations.
With such logic, would the Deep State feel unchained in an attempt on a president’s life? Why not?
Yep you get the sense this is going to happen shortly.....
Are the ABA, and Patricia Millett daft?
They claim that is is extraordinary” for the government “unilaterally deciding to kill U.S. citizens,” is hardly “extraordinary”.
It is not extraordinary. It is every day practice, endorsed by the ABA, Judge Millett and their friends.
In the US we allow the killing of thousands of innocent and defenseless Americans every day, often with the government footing the bill, and often with government coercion. 60,000,000 in the last 50 years, making premeditated murder with complete government sanction, and often support, the leading cause of death in the USA. Way above cancer and heart disease.
In October 2017 Judge Millett wrote an opinion (Garza vs Margen) claiming that it was against the Constitution for the government to decide NOT to kill a person.
