For those of you who dont know. The Obama Administration (and the Bush Administration) thinks its OK to murder American citizens (even within the borders of the US) without trial so long as they can brand them "terrorists."
Rand Paul is filibustering the CIA nomination until Obama is "clear" on Drone strikes.
Im 100% with him. As he quotes, "the Constitution isnt set up for when Angels are in office. It's there for when bad people are in office."
Its there to restrict Executive Powers so that one man cant just go around killing people without due process. People turn a blind eye to Obama and his drone strikes because well...they like Obama. And they trust him. Well whatever...BUt if Bush said he thought it was OK to ? Americans without a trial you all would flip your ? wig. But Obama does it and we pretend its all good.

I agree with his position on this and I think more people whether they be Ds or Rs or Is need to get involved with getting this axed. "Power, once given, can never be taken back"...that's something to remember when it comes to military abilities.

yeah he is right on this, but broken clocks and ? . One correct position isnt gonna erase the fact he's against the voting rights act, civil liberties act, hates immigranst, etc etc. hes just doing this ? to score some cheap political points. i guarantee he wouldnt give 2 ? about this if Romney was president and he wasn't trying to run for the chance to lose to hilary.
I don't understand what's so great about filibustering anyway. so you stand up and talk for 12 hours? crazy hobos on the street do that ? daily in central park. -
Tim Scott on deck ? just got real

This is a Strawman and has nothing to do with this issue. He is 100% correct on this issue.

13 hour fillibuster? classic ? tbh. Rand Paul said ? Congress this ? from Kenya needs to know the real deal.

Filibuster was broken and Obama has "written a letter" or some ? to Rand Paul stating he does not think he has the right to ? Americans within US Borders.
BUt ? a letter. I want to hear him say the Constitution doesnt allow it. Letters can be misplaced or re-interpreted by the next president. But so can the Constitution though right
Yeah..WE'RE ? . -
Its amazing how much ? outrage there was over use of water boarding but Obama introduces this ? and not a ? peep

Election Spurred a Move to Codify U.S. Drone PolicyThe attempt to write a formal rule book for targeted killing began last summer after news reports on the drone program, started under President George W. Bush and expanded by Mr. Obama, revealed some details of the president’s role in the shifting procedures for compiling “? lists” and approving strikes. Though national security officials insist that the process is meticulous and lawful, the president and top aides believe it should be institutionalized, a course of action that seemed particularly urgent when it appeared that Mitt Romney might win the presidency.
“There was concern that the levers might no longer be in our hands,” said one official, speaking on condition of anonymity. With a continuing debate about the proper limits of drone strikes, Mr. Obama did not want to leave an “amorphous” program to his successor, the official said. The effort, which would have been rushed to completion by January had Mr. Romney won, will now be finished at a more leisurely pace, the official said.

I never thought I would agree with Rand Paul but he's right. Obama is no better than George Bush and he should stop pretending.
