Thom Hartmann: Drones - Obama vs. The Constitution

With the American public and Congress beginning to understand this nation's full use of drones - is the drone program in for a major change now that the secret's out? Given the choice between supporting the President or supporting the nation’s Constitution, the Constitution comes first. In fact, the President’s oath of office requires him to put it first, too.

no matter what political party he's from. Governmental targeting and execution of US citizens without due process of law is unconstitutional and former Constitutional law professor Obama damn well knows it. And declaring war on a "tactic" is utter bullshit, and always has been. Bush's policies were wrong, and Obama being President doesn't make them right.

If we cease to recognize the Constitution as an authority above any President, we have become a nation ruled by men, not a nation ruled by laws. Save our Constitutional rights! End the extra-judicial killings now!
