  • I know this has nothing to do with this board and i am new here but an epic filibuster is going on in the senate. Rand Paul has been talking for almost 8 hours about drone killings on American citizens.

  • The fact that this topic is even being discussed yet filibustered just shows how crazy our gov't has become.

    Hello 5th amendment?

    So Liberals are willing to get terrorists from foreign countries and bring them to the US and try them Federal Court instead of a military court. But some in our gov't (hello Liberals, this is your baby right here) aren't willing to give our own citizens the same courtesy guaranteed by the Constitution. Shameful.

    rlag09, discuss if you wanna discuss. It's the entitlement age we live in where people feel incapable of NOT clicking on something they don't want to discuss and then commenting about how they don't want to discuss it instead of just moving on with their day. It's actually a big deal that this is even needing to take place, but most people would rather stick their head in the sand on Obama and Holder and call it a day.

  • where was this guy and others like him during the patriot act debate.?take the most extreme action the government could take and throw it out there as a red herring rather than going back in and installing the rights we all lost from the Patriot Act. maybe he should consider what really is likely to impact american citizens more. also do we want the government to not try to stop the terrrorists if they are american or otherwise from killing hundreds or thousands by any means possible? This after the long debate about torture. This is about Obama and nothing else. This would not be an issue if there were a republican president.

    First off Rand Paul was not in the senate then. He has talked about Obama being George Bush 2.0. Also this is not about someone about to commit a terrorist act. This is about taking out someone one while they are in their home or some place like that. You give the government the power to do that what can they not do.

    Take to Texags

    Relax dmo

    This is crucial.

    If the president and attorney general can't answer a basic question

    All Rand has asked for, is that President Barack Obama or Eric Holder, declare that they wouldn't use a drone to kill a non-combatant citizen of the United States, here on our very own soil.

    Whether you like this administration or not, what does this ruling leave a child with 30 years from now.....etc

    how is killing a non-combative american citizen in america helping the collective?

    The individual should have the right to not be shot out of the sky by his government or be spied upon without probable cause. The only group that sort of power helps are those who wish to control the individual under the guise of whatever excuse they make up as being in the interest of the "common good.". Drone strikes, The Patriot Act both included.

    small difference between listening in on a conversation and shooting a missile off a drone through your window without due process. I don't like either of them.

    The Founding Fathers would string the current politicians up by the their toes and take target practice. Read the Constitution and then read the garbage that comes out of Washington, it's just depressing. Can you imagine Madison or Franklin saying we have to pass the bill to find out what's in the bill?

    You're right this is about Obama b/c he's the damn president. Who else are we to blame for his policies? I blame Bush for his idiot policies too.

    The American people need to wake the F up, realize that the very fabric of this nation is being removed one strand at a time, and hold our politicians accountable.
