As members of this administration have previously indicated, the US government has not carried out drone strikes in the United States and has no intention of doing so. As a policy matter moreover, we reject the use of military force where well-established law enforcement authorities in this country provide the best means for incapacitating a terrorist threat. We have a long history of using the criminal justice system to incapacitate individuals located in our country who pose a threat to the United States and its interests abroad. Hundreds of individuals have been arrested and convicted of terrorism-related offenses in our federal courts.
The question you have posed is therefore entirely hypothetical, unlikely to occur, and one we hope no president will ever have to confront. It is possible, I suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States. For example, the president could conceivably have no choice but to authorize the military to use such force if necessary to protect the homeland in the circumstances like a catastrophic attack like the ones suffered on December 7, 1941, and September 11, 2001.

Whats good for the goose is good for the gander, obviously these evil bastards want a civil war. Soon there will only be two choices, submit to the communists or fight them. There will be no in-between, those folks will just be collateral damage.

If you listen to Van Jones,it seems like the Obama adminstration wants a civil war and I think Fast and Furious was meant to start it.
ReplyDeleteDamn shame whats going on in this country.
ReplyDeleteThere ya have it. Straight from the horses-ass mouth. No charges, no trial, no conviction, and no appeal. Just presidentially ordered murder. Of Americans. he doesn't think he's president. obama thinks he's a DICTATOR with unlimited power to whatever he wants, regardless of law, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or any accountablity to the serfs. I'm gonna buy another thousand rounds TODAY. There are a LOT of sheep to take care of....
ReplyDeleteImclain please remember some of the sheep are just ignorant and don't necessarily agree with the glorious dictator. They need to have some other form of information other than the MSM and the other liberals around them to make more informed decisions. But once they are informed and still support this Hitler like president then they do deserve what is coming.
