Judge Napolitano: Obama’s secret court for killing
Fox News Opinion ^ | 2/14/2013 | Andrew Napolitano

Posted on 02/15/2013 11:40:12 AM PST by GVnana

President Obama willingly admits he dispatched CIA agents to kill an American and his teenage son and the son’s American friend while they were in a desert in Yemen in 2011. He says he did so because the adult had encouraged folks to wage war on the United States and the children were just “collateral damage.” He says further that he’ll do this again when he is convinced that killing Americans will keep America safe. He says he knows the adult encouraged evil, and his encouragement caused the deaths of innocents. The adult was never charged with a crime or indicted by a grand jury; he was just targeted for death by the president himself and executed by a CIA drone.

International law and the law of war, to both of which the U.S. is bound by treaty, as well as federal law and the Judeo-Christian values that underlie the Declaration of Independence (which guarantees the right to live) and the Constitution (which permits governmental interference with that right only after a congressional declaration of war or individual due process) all provide that the certainty of the identity of a human target, the sincerity of the wish for his death, the perception of his guilt and imminent danger are insufficient to justify the government’s use of lethal force against him. The president may only lawfully kill after due process, in self-defense or under a declaration of war.

KEYWORDS: bhofascism; democrats; obama; tyranny
The president has made a political calculation that it will be easier for him to justify killing folks he can demonize than it will be to afford them due process, by capturing, housing and trying them. Now, he has come to believe that it will be easier still if unnamed federal judges meeting in secret take the heat.

This worthless sockpuppet will do whatever his handlers tell him to do. He too stupid to do anything on his own. His handlers do it all . . . and then he goes on another vacation without his rather porcine spouse . . . she goes somewhere else just to stick her fat finger in the taxpayers’ eyes.

He’s a sockpuppet . . . nothing comes from him.

This sounds like a Bond villain:
A foreign national from a group engaged in global war on Western Civilization, using high tech weapons systems to kill Americans while posing as a high US government official.

Gee. Maybe I should sell this plot to Hollywood....
I wonder if the DNC already has this copyrighted.

This FReeper is only angered that obama gets a free pass. And this is only a warmup for drone strikes on American soil.

Isn’t it obvious? Americans are the only people Obama supports killing.

Bin Laden, I believe, happened without his foreknowledge, and he just took credit for it.

Some would, some would not. We all should be.

I expect you know this, and you also know that those who would not be angry are unlikely to recognize it.

So what is the point except to generally impugn the integrity of all FReepers?

Not in the least given the same situation. Urkel is a shameless liar but even he doesn't swallow the liberal cr@p spewing from the Democrats. After 4 years in office and a lot of security briefs about these Islamofascist animals and faced with the reality that these same savages could be coming after his own daughters, that private persona has been cast aside.

And as sure as I am of the above statements, if George Bush or Mitt Romney has taken those same steps, we would be just about starting impeachment proceeding led by the tubercular Pelosi and the cadaverous Reid.

Yes we would. I was also against the patriot act under George Bush. I fear this kind of power in the hands of dishonest men and honest men alike. In the hands of a despot, it is the beginning of new Stalin.

Kill Americans to keep America safe. Is that like “We had to destroy the village to save it”?
