What if that citizen was driving a truck with a dirty bomb in it on his way to a population center and the drone had the opportunity to take him out in an unpopulated area?
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

C'mon, man.

That's too hard.

Like science.

'Way too hard.

  Forget all the na na na na na!  Double, triple the drone strikes.  If there is a terrorist in a house, building, car, truck, drone it.  Kill all of the bastards.  Let's do the world a favor.  Kill all of the Muslim bastards.    :yes:  :trustme:

  When a farmer or anyone find a rat nest full of babies, they kill them.  Why?  Because they will grow up to be full size rats.   :rant:

If a citizen can be subject to a drone strike over seas, it is just a short leap to do it here.  We are on a slippery slope. The Constitution applies to all citizens all the time or it does not.

The only "slippery slope" around here is the one that clearly exists with the synaptic membrane connecting the nerves contained within your miniature brain cavity.

Has it happened yet? No. Will it happen? Not likely.

I agree so long as they are not citizens covered by the Constitution.

The Constitution allows for the use of deadly force; how is a drone strike materially different from a LEO using his sidearm?

Is there still some part of the Constitution covering citizens and non-citizens alike that you're having difficulty understanding?

Due process should be given to citizens.  Under your plan the police could just shoot anyone they see  doing a crime.  No need for the courts.  Do you support drone strikes on US soil?

The police are authorized to use deadly force under certain conditions, no due process necessary.

Yes, I support drone strikes on U.S. soil if they're used to eradicate scumbag rednecks in places like WV.

So what's to discuss?  It's pretty apparent that ya'll think it's ok for this administration to get by with things you wanted Bush crucified for.  You will excuse anything he does just because he's a fancy talker and you don't even see the BS dripping from the corners of his mouth.
