Due Process?

Hey Eric:

So, here's the thing.

It is not OK to kill American citizens.

Repeat after me: 'It is NOT OK to whack citizens.'

And, it is YOUR JOB to make sure that does not happen.

You're the one who holds the Constitution intact.

YOU.

If we have no Constitution, then we are just the same as Sharia - no difference.

You are the one person holding the line between the USA and darkness.

YOU.

And, Eric, you don't seem to understand what is going on.

That sounds harsh and I'm sorry if it does. But Eric, the shoe fits, so wear it.

You have described our 'due process' as making sure any killing meets four 'principles.'

So, Eric, where do those 'principles' come from anyway?

But, even more important than the origin of those 'principles' to our existence as a free people is this simple idea: you cannot allow a person holding a gun - that would be your boss Barry My Liege Obama - to decide whether or not the 'principles' are met.

In order for there to be due process under our constitution, then somebody who is NOT involved in the killing process has to approve and certify that the 'principles' are met in fact.

That's why we fought that little war in 1776, for that idea.

Riddle me this Eric:

Why is that so hard to understand?
