>>>If you take up arms against the United States, the fact that you are a “Citizen” really does not matter a hill of beans
We have to be very careful and do a cost/benefit analysis. Do the benefits that Americans get, from giving the government the right to kill citizens without due process, outweigh the costs? Do you trust politicians with the power to make life and death decisions, where American citizens are concerned? Are we going to see collateral damage take place in America, as is happening overseas? If your next door neighbor is a suspected domestic terrorist, could the government launch a predator drone attack on his home, and harm you in the process.
We need to remember that the Nazi terrorists who tried to sabotage American port facilities in World War Two, received a secret trial, before they were executed. Americans accused of terrorism today, have fewer rights than Nazi terrorists had in the 1940s.
Things that seem to be good ideas when a trusted president is in office have to be thought through before Supporting them. How do these ideas seem if they become enacted and someone from the other side is administering them?
