Holder: Yep, Obama Could Kill Americans On U.S. Soil

Link to article

"...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." - Eric Holder

UPDATE: After Senator Paul's filibuster, Eric Holder changed his mind:

“Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on U.S. soil?  The answer to that is no.”

McCain: Rand Paul's 'Political Stunt' 'Was Simply False'

Link to article

"If Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids. I don't think what happened yesterday is helpful to the American people." -John McCain

Sen. McCain is acting like the cranky old man that he is. Sen. Paul's filibuster yesterday brought the politically conscious (irregardless of labels) together in a way I have not seen. Occupy Wall Street ('fringe' left), liberals, conservatives, AND libertarians have been commending him for his 13 hour effort yesterday. The only ones who are still being divisive are the goose-stepping Democrats and Republicans and the blowhards in the corporate/federal controlled media.
