The bell tolls for Eric Holder. Well of course he wants to preserve his options when dealing with people like us.

Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee. -- John Donne, 1624.
Eric Holder: Drone strikes against Americans on U.S. soil are legal
Attorney General Eric Holder can imagine a scenario in which it would be constitutional to carry out a drone strike against an American on American soil, he wrote in a letter to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
“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,” Holder replied in a letter yesterday to Paul’s question about whether Obama “has the power to authorize lethal force, such as a drone strike, against a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil, and without trial.”
Well of course he wants to preserve his options when dealing with people like us. The thing that we must not forget is that these people are criminals acting under color of law. Their collectivist regime, so subversive to the principles of the Founders Republic, has shed all legitimacy. When they finally get the civil war they seek, they should not expect due process of law when they deny it to others. For if we, the armed citizenry, do not have drones as an instrument of policy, we certainly have plenty of these:
And these:
A reminder to Eric Holder from A Man For All Seasons:
William Roper: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!
Sir Thomas More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
William Roper: Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!
Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!
Before you start using armed drones on American soil against regime opponents, you should remember that the bell tolls for thee, too, Eric Holder.

I have to say "A man for all seasons" with Paul Scofield is one of my favorite movies!

Well well well. With all due respect Mike, I've been saying that since Obomination ordered that 16yr old teenage American citizen in Yemen vaporized. To this day, even during Brennen's absurd first confirmation hearing for becoming the head of the CIA, the entire panel of Congressional dimwits as well as Brennen did somersaults to obfuscate this obscene act, to the point, any rational person with one neuron between their ears would fall to the floor in a cacophony of raucous side splitting laughter.

Legitimacy? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Waco and Ruby Ridge notwithstanding, I'd submit this regime really threw their so called "legitimacy" to the wind the day der Erick the "murderer" Holder declared with characteristic pith .."due process does not guarantee..ahem..judicial process"
That's the day I had to recalibrate my REALITY SUSPENSION-O-METER. If anything, they've succinctly supplied living proof of War crime culpability by virtue of
claiming Supranational Sovereignty status. If you are not familiar with this concept, you might want to enlighten yourself, as it sum's up EXACTLY what this regime has become.

And let us not forget that the esteemed NRA chose to not challenge Holder's nomination for AG, because they "didn't want to waste valuable political capital."

They're becoming in such "common use" for the day, we should be able to buy one or three. Just think of the economy of scale & the per-unit cost drop.

Any bureaucrat who agrees to this is a criminal. Once it starts, THEY should become targets as well. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Hundreds of years before Henry VIII's problems with Thomas More was Henry II's problems with Thomas of Becket.

King Henry's expression in Latin "What miserable drones and traitors have I nourished and brought up in my household, who let their lord be treated with such shameful contempt by a low-born cleric?" has become through tradition as "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"

Thus King Henry's expression of complaint about the Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas of Becket was taken as an order of execution by four knights eager to show their loyalty to their lord. Becket had dared to oppose the king. The knights executed the cleric on the cathedral's altar steps with their swords. There was no pretense of an attempt to arrest him and try him in a court of law.

After assuming control of the Church of England, Henry VIII desecrated the grave of Thomas of Becket, scattering his bones.
