The judge is legally accurate that the assasination of bin laden and of the quadaffi family is unconstitutional.
this puts me in a dilemma, I dont have issue with what we did but I dont feel right ignoring a violation of the constitution either. Congress is supposed to authorize this stuff, not the president.
there is nothing in the constitution that speaks to this issue. international law speaks to the issue. and in accordance with international law, we had the right to go in. pakistan knew we were running ops. they can feign ignorance. but they already knew we were flying drones.
the bar to assassination is, i believe, a matter of executive order, but i'm not positive about that.
and, frankly, if it wasn't quite legal, i couldn't give a flying. pakistan violated their agreement with us not to harbor him and to work with us on the WOT ... for which agreement they were paid quite handsomely.
The zombified never cease to amaze me.
According to Fräulein Jillian, the prez has the authority to murder suspects, because when the President does it, that means it is not illegal."
And when the Prez says that he murdered OBL instead some innocent Pakistani retiree , well we mere mortals must accept his version of events as the gospel truth.
heil Hitler.

Remember the government is here to protect you and keep you safe, just depends who the president is if it's legal or illegal.
